Markup context menus enable you to change the attributes of selected markups; for example, you can change the background color of all linear dimension labels to differentiate them from the radial dimension labels in a particular drawing.

While each type of measurement will have a unique menu, the context menus contain the same basic commands, such as Copy, Delete, and Properties. 

A context menu can be accessed by either clicking on the markup name in the Markups pane or right-clicking the markup itself.

 Change the measurement units
  1. Right-click the measurement to open the context menu. You can do this by clicking either the measurement label in the drawing or its listing in the Markups browser pane.
  2. Click Units and make a election from the flyout menu.


 Change the number of decimal places in a measurement
  1. Right-click the measurement to open the markup context menu. You can do this by clicking either the measurement label in the drawing or its listing in the Markups browser pane.
  2. Point to Decimal Places and select a number from the flyout menu.
