Line annotation

A line annotation is used to create a line segment or contour to delineate or mark anatomical structures.

Tip

Use this tool for example to delineate a tooth.

1.       Click Line  in the Annotate group on the Diagnose tab.

2.     The cursor changes into a crosshair.

3.     Click the object of interest. A small gray sphere appears.

4.     Click another position on the object. A second gray sphere appears and a connecting yellow line is drawn. This default line color can be changed using the right-click pop-up menu of the line annotation.

5.     Continue indicating object points to be connected with a line.

6.     Right-click to finish drawing.

Tip

When indicating a contour line and hovering over an already defined point (generated during this action), it is possible to ‘re-use’ the point by clicking it. As such, a closed contour (as shown in the image above) or a 'figure eight' can be drawn.
