Value | Description

TRUE (1) | Markup is displayed on the drawing.
FALSE (0) | Markup is not displayed (the default).

## Syntax

    <ViewMarkup>
        [Unit]
        [F]
        [Err]>
    </ViewMarkup>

## Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant. For example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

## Remarks

When markup tracking is turned on (the AddMarkup element is TRUE), the ViewMarkup element is automatically set to TRUE and remains TRUE even after markup tracking has been turned off (the AddMarkup element is FALSE). The value in the ViewMarkup element is ignored when the AddMarkup element is TRUE.

The ViewMarkup element is also set to TRUE when comments are inserted in a drawing (whether or not markup tracking is turned on) and must be TRUE for comments to appear in the drawing.

This cell corresponds to the Markup command on the View Menu.

The ViewMarkup element is relevant only when contained in a DocumentSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a StyleSheet, Shape, or PageSheet element.
