Key Features

Professional-grade annotation tools built directly into Odoo. No external software needed.

11 Drawing Tools

Select, Pan, Rectangle, Circle, Freehand Pencil, Text, Arrow, Dimension Line, Callout, Polygon, and Cloud markup tools for every annotation scenario.

Layer Management

Organize annotations on layers. Show, hide, lock, or reorder layers to keep complex markup organized and easy to review.

Comments & Threads

Pin comments directly on the drawing. Start threaded discussions tied to specific locations on the document for contextual collaboration.

Save-As Versioning

Every save creates a new versioned copy (AV1, AV2, AV3...). The original file is never modified. Access all versions from the Annotated Versions button.

PDF & Image Support

Open PDFs (multi-page via PDF.js) and image files (PNG, JPG, TIFF) directly in the viewer. Navigate pages and annotate any page independently.

Export PNG / SVG

Export annotated documents as high-resolution PNG or scalable SVG files for sharing, printing, or attaching to reports and transmittals.

How It Works

Three steps from document to annotated, versioned markup.

1
Open from Any Record

Click the annotation button on any supported record — Shop Drawings, RFIs, NCRs, Inspections, or Tasks. The viewer opens inline as an OWL client action.

2
Annotate & Comment

Use any of the 11 drawing tools to mark up the document. Add dimension lines, callouts, cloud markups, freehand sketches, text labels, and pinned comments.

3
Save Versioned Copy

Hit Save to create a versioned annotated copy (filename-AV1.png, filename-AV2.png). The original document is always protected and never overwritten.

Works With Your Existing Records

The annotation viewer integrates directly into 5 CONSTRA record types via inherited views.

11 Professional Annotation Tools

A complete markup toolkit designed for construction document review workflows.

Select

Click to select, move, resize, and rotate objects on the canvas

Pan

Click and drag to navigate around the document viewport

Rectangle

Draw rectangles to highlight areas or frame document sections

Circle

Draw ellipses and circles to mark specific points of interest

Pencil

Freehand drawing for sketches, redlines, and quick annotations

Text

Add text labels, notes, and descriptions anywhere on the document

Arrow

Draw directional arrows to point out specific details or issues

Dimension

Add dimension lines with measurement labels for technical review

Callout

Add callout boxes with leader lines pointing to specific areas

Polygon

Draw multi-point polygons for irregular area highlighting

Cloud

Industry-standard revision cloud markup for highlighting changes

Version Control

Original Protected. Every Save Creates a New Version.

The annotation engine never modifies the original attachment. Each time you save, a new annotated version is created with an automatic version suffix. This gives you a complete history of all markups while keeping the source document intact.

  • Original file is never modified or overwritten
  • First save creates filename-AV1.png
  • Subsequent saves create AV2, AV3, AV4... automatically
  • All versions accessible from Annotated Versions button
  • Full version history with timestamps and user tracking
