What are Freehand Items?

Freehand items are user-drawn graphical elements that can be added to a map or layout. Freehand items can include simple shapes, arrows, or complex drawings that provide context to geographic data.

Freehand items are commonly used for annotations, drawing items, highlighting areas of interest, or creating custom map decorations. Maptitude allows users to align, resize, style, and rotate freehand items to improve map presentations. This functionality is beneficial in marking areas of concern on planning maps, sketching proposed changes in zoning maps, and enhancing the clarity of reports and presentations.
