Highlighting electrical loads on prints

Brian Babernitch

Hey everyone, for my business I am constantly highlighting electrical loads on prints. Right now I am using the highlighter to trace the dashed lines from fixture to fixture. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than freehand. These are not straight lines, they are curved. Thanks.

Hi mate Instead of using the Highlighter freehand, I'd recommend trying the Polyline or Arc tools. They give you much better control when following curved electrical runs and keep the markup looking clean and professional.

If the dashed line style is consistent throughout the drawings, Visual Search may also be worth exploring to speed up the process. It won't fit every situation, but it can save a lot of manual tracing on larger sets.
