Four geometric properties define a marker in AutoSketch: s Basepoint s Angle s Height s Width You can edit these properties by selecting the marker and changing the settings on the edit bar. Like a symbol, you can resize, move, rotate, or convert a marker to its component entities. AutoSketch scales markers, and other annotation entities, at output size. If you enter a marker that is .25'' high, it prints as .25'' high, regardless of the drawing scale. Placing a Marker You place a marker by entering a point in the drawing for the marker basepoint. Markers make it easy to draw attention to a point in the drawing, because the basepoint is usually the focal point of the marker. You can use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numeric keypad (or use F5 or SHIFT+F5 if you don't have a keypad) to rotate a marker before or after you enter its basepoint. You can specify this angle of rotation by modifying the Plus/Minus Rotation text box on the Drawing page of the Drawing Options dialog box. You can also align a marker to specific points on an entity. To align a marker onto an entity click Marker, Align On-Entity on the Draw menu. Click Marker, Align to Endpoint in the Draw menu, to align a marker to the endpoint of an entity. 242 | Chapter 19 Markers
