Highlighter Tool - Turn off highlight text mode
« on: July 24, 2019, 08:34:02 AM »
When I use the highlighter, is there an option to completely turn off the highlight text mode and keep it in free-form highlight mode?

I know that there is a way to, because it was off until recently, I am not sure how it turned back on.

I hold down "ctrl" when utilizing the highlighter tool if I don't want it to highlight recognized text. This avoids the accidental highlighting of everything on the line / document and makes the highlighter behave as it isn't text.

Not sure there is an option in Preferences as I've always used "ctrl" key to bounce back and forth.

You can turn it off by going to Revu>Preferences>Window>Tablet and then uncheck "Enable Text Highlighting", or you can just hold ctrl as Steve mentioned.

I am having that same problem.  2018 is like an alien version after using 2014 for 5 years.  The first line I highlighted found and highlighted all text on the drawing.  Turning off text highlighting should fix that as well.  Thanks
