What is the Comment Tool?

The Comment Tool lets you add notes directly onto your drawing to communicate with your team or mark important details.

It’s useful for collaboration, reviews, and keeping everything documented in one place.

How it works

  1. Select the Comment Tool (K) from the toolbar

  2. Click anywhere on the drawing

  3. Enter your comment or note

  4. Save to place it on the plan

Your comment will stay attached to that location on the drawing.

When should I use it?

Use the Comment Tool to:

  • Leave notes for yourself or your team

  • Flag issues or questions on the drawing

  • Clarify scope or assumptions

  • Communicate changes without leaving the platform

Important notes

  • Comments do not affect measurements or quantities

  • They are for communication only

  • Comments stay pinned to the drawing location for easy reference

This makes it easy to keep all project communication directly tied to your plans πŸ‘
