Pin

A Pin is a fixed-size symbol marker that highlights a point on a drawing. Pins always render at a consistent screen size regardless of zoom, so they stay readable at any scale — useful for marking pile locations on a foundation plan that needs to print at multiple scales, sensor locations on an instrumentation plan, control points on a survey overlay, or any feature that needs a clear visual marker rather than a dimensioned callout.

Style

W: Pin width in screen pixels. Default 30. The pin renders at this fixed pixel size regardless of zoom level.

H: Pin height in screen pixels. Default 30.

Image Type: Pin shape:

• Pin (default) — Map-pin style symbol with a teardrop head and a point.
• Arrow — Arrow symbol pointing at the marked location.

Color: Pin color.

Thickness: Outline thickness.

Level: Layer assignment.

Placement

A pin has a single anchor point — the location it marks. Click to place. Drag to move.

Notes

Use Pins sparingly. They're effective when there's exactly one or two important points to highlight; on a drawing with many pinned features, the pins crowd the drawing. For dense point markers (a pile group, a bolt pattern), use small Circles or filled symbols at real-world size instead.

Because pins render at a fixed pixel size, they always remain readable when the drawing is plotted — but they don't scale with the rest of the geometry. If the drawing is shown at very small print scale, a pin can look disproportionately large; tune W and H accordingly for your sheet size.
