Check Markers Palette

The Check Markers function lists which marker-referred items are missing from the project.

The Check Markers Palette is available:

from Window > Palettes > Check Markers

by clicking the Check Markers command on the Layouts and Drawings toolbar

To list undefined marker references, click the Check Markers button at the top of the palette.

The palette lists all the markers in the project which the user has automatically or manually linked a viewpoint, drawing or view, but whose referred viewpoint/drawing/view has since been deleted from this project. (In this case, the marker will display Autotext in place of the missing data.)

Markers are listed, and can be sorted, according to the following:

By marker type (shown as an icon)

Placed to: ID and name of the viewpoint in which the marker is placed.

Selected item: Name and ID of the marker’s referenced item (i.e. the viewpoint/view/drawing one you chose when defining the marker reference). If this referenced item has been deleted from the project, this column will show “N/A”.

Approve: Editable checkbox for each marker.

You can sort items by any of these properties by clicking on its column header. You can then perform a secondary sorting function: clicking a second column header will further sort within the hierarchy obtained by the first sorting.

An icon at the bottom of the palette allows the user to zoom to the selected marker. (The zoom button is disabled if multiple markers are selected.)

For each problematic marker listed (or multiple selected markers), the user can click Marker Settings to re-link the marker(s) or otherwise modify them.

The user may decide that the marker is OK the way it is (even though it continues to display undefined Autotext). In this case, the Approve checkbox can be used as a sorting criterion; check the box for these markers. (For example, if you know that the undefined Autotext refers to an external project that has not yet been loaded.)

If you don’t want the palette to re-list these approved markers as problems the next time you click the Check Markers button, use the Hide Approved Markers option from the pop-up at top right of the dialog box.

Otherwise, use the List all items option.
