The Markup tool provides functionality to make map notes, which can be used for easy exchange of drawing sketches via E-Mail. The Markup style can either be defined directly in the tool dialog or selected out of several pre-configured markup styles.
See chapter Meeting Point as well.
Note: In order to avoid problems with redlining drawings and labels on the print, we recommend to adjust settings on the layer of the MXD as described in chapter Print Labels.
