Bookmarks

En Español

Bookmarks allow you to create a link to a specific view/location on a plan sheet, then place the link (in the form of an icon) on other plan sheets in the project for quick access. 

They are a great way to create shortcuts to general notes or section views.

See below for instructions to:
Create / Add Bookmark
Place Bookmark

For instructions to rename or delete an existing bookmark from the project, see Organize Your Project Documents.

Create / Add Bookmark

1. Go to the PLANS & TAKEOFFS section of your project.
2. Open the plan sheet that you want to bookmark/create a link to.
3. Scroll/zoom in to the specific view of the sheet that you want people to see when they use the bookmark.
4. Click Bookmarks on the Measuring Toolbar along the right side of the screen and select Add Bookmark.
5. Type in a Bookmark Name.
6. Click Save.

Once you add a bookmark, you can place it on any plan sheet in the project.

TIP: All the Bookmarks that are available for use in the project are listed in the Bookmarks folder on the Plans tab. This is also where you can rename a bookmark if needed. See Organize Your Project Documents for more info.
