Selecting, Moving, and Resizing Markups

1. 1

   Switch to Select

   Choose Select from the toolbar or press V before editing existing objects.

2. 2

   Click the object

   Click a visible markup on the drawing, or choose it from the Markup List if it is hard to target.

3. 3

   Select several at once

   Press Ctrl/Cmd+A, use Edit > Select All, or pick multiple rows in the Markup List when you need to act on more than one markup.

1. 1

   Drag the markup body

   Drag inside the markup to move it to a new position on the same page.

2. 2

   Drag handles

   Use visible handles to resize shapes, text boxes, count markers, and signatures.

3. 3

   Check locked state

   If the markup will not move, check whether it is locked. The lock toggle lives in the Properties panel and the Layers panel.

1. 1

   Select one markup

   Rotation works on a single markup at a time. A multiple selection shows resize handles but no rotation handle.

2. 2

   Drag the rotation handle

   A round-cornered blue handle sits on a short tether above the selection. Drag it to turn the markup around its centre.

3. 3

   Check it printed

   Rotation is saved with the markup and drawn by the PDF exporter, so a rotated note or shape prints at the angle you left it.

Locked markups show no handles at all, so unlock first. A few markup types are deliberately not rotatable, legends among them, because they are laid out as upright tables.
