Annotation Pro & Annotation Pro Plus
To draw, you can use your finger on a touch screen. You can also use other mouse devices to draw. You cannot
freehand draw using the keyboard, but you can use it for straight line drawing.
Before drawing, you may change the drawing line color or the width and style of the drawing line.
Drawing Freehand
1. Position the active pointer (if one is displayed) anywhere on the video image where the drawing is to begin.
2. Activate the Draw command from your particular drawing device.
3. Reposition the active marker (if one is displayed) and repeat the above procedures for another drawn line.
Straight Line Drawing
NOTE: This feature works only using the keyboard.
1. Activate the Straight Draw command from the keyboard. A cursor appears representing the first endpoint of the
straight line.
2. Position the cursor anywhere on the screen where the line is to begin, and anchor it. A second cursor appears,
joined by a line to the first endpoint.
3. Position the second cursor where the line is to end and anchor it. The line segment is complete.
4. If desired, draw another straight line by positioning the new active cursor and anchoring it.
Selecting Pointers
You select a pointer type while the pointer is active, or positionable. After you anchor the pointer, you cannot change
that pointer’s type. However, you can erase or undo the anchored pointer and begin again.
From the Keyboard

Pointers

backwards through the pointer options, by activating the Reverse Toggle command. The pointer you selected
appears on screen, ready for positioning.
