Ci Tools Annotate – The single function tool… gets another function.

April 30, 2025

The Annotate Tool just gained a game-changing merge feature that eliminates tedious text reorganization after imports.

You may have know the Annotate Tool for it's ability to select and change from UPPER to lower and vice-versa, but now it get's another handy feature - Merge.

When importing details, DWGs, or exploding a PDF etc, it’s very annoying and time consuming to have to re-organize all those blown up individual text boxes from the process.

Now, you just highlight the selection you’d like to merge, and go to Ci Tools>Annotate>Merge Text

Then it instantly merges the separate text into a simple Text Box that you can edit as per normal, without all the copy-n-paste or retyping.  Oh and yes, it works for English too 😉
