1. How to add text to a sketch?

Labeling a sketch basically means adding specific details on top of the image by using the text icon.

With this feature, you can label the sketch by adding text on top of the image in different fonts and colors. So when you include these sketches in your tech pack, the manufacturers can understand your exact design requirements.

 

Here's how to label any sketch: 

 

Step 1: Upload an image inside the Image & Annotations Tab of your card.
