How do I mark a spot on a drawing?
- Open Documents, then Current revisions, then press the drawing. It opens in place, so you stay on the job.
- Zoom in before you mark anything. On a phone, pinch with two fingers. On a laptop, press Smaller and Larger. The percentage between them shows the zoom.
- A mark is only as good as the spot it is on.
- Press Pin a spot. The bar tells you to tap the drawing where it is.
- Press the plan. The mark goes there, with the next free number in the circle.
- YourCA holds the spot as a fraction of the page, not a position on your screen. So the mark stays on the same brick at every zoom, on a phone in one hand, and on another person's laptop.
- The pin opens immediately on a box that asks what you found here.
- Write it, add a photograph, or both. Then press Save it.
- Each mark on the sheet is a numbered chip in the bar under the drawing. Press the number to open that pin. So on a forty page set, you do not search for a circle.
- If a mark is in the wrong place, press Move it, then press where it should go.
- Take it off removes the mark and everything said at it.
Worth knowing
Pin a spot shows only on a sheet YourCA can draw on screen. So a Word file or a spreadsheet takes no marks. Open the PDF of the drawing, which is what a builder issues anyway. Pin a spot also does not show if your role cannot write on this job. Then you can read every mark and everything said at it, but you cannot add your own.
