Add Comments with Markup

Use the markup tools to share an annotated image of a model file.

You can mention specific shared user name in your comments. A notification is sent to the specific user to take the required action. All your conversations are recorded with the date and time that includes comments that were added, received, edited, deleted and restored.

When you share the file to a user, all your conversations and annotations are also shared to the user.

The preview of a section cut and scene can be used for markup and attach as an image along with your comments.
