To link photos to a drawing.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions
- 'Read-only' and above on the project's Drawings tool can add markups to their Personal layer.
- Only 'Standard' and 'Admin' level users can publish personal markups to the Published layer. See, What is the difference between personal and published markups?
- Additional Information
- Photos added to drawings will automatically populate in the Photos tool under an album called "Photos from Drawings." An "Origin" field will populate on the photo, which will indicate that the photo was uploaded via the drawings tool.
- Choose to which album you want your photos to be added.
Note: If nothing is selected, the default location is an album called, "Photos from Drawings" - Determine if you would like to mark all photos private by default in the Photos tool.
Steps
- Navigate to the Project-level Drawings tool.
- Click Open in the drawing log next to the drawing you're going to mark up.
Note: You can also click Info in the drawing log next to the drawing you would like to add an item to, then click Open in Viewer / Markup in the right pane. - Click the Markup icon in the upper right of the page.
- Select the Photos icon from the Markup toolbar, or select an existing Photos markup in the drawing to which you can add additional drawings. See Mark Up a Drawing.
