Using annotations
« on: September 10, 2020, 05:09 PM »
Whenever I want to use an annotation (eg, arrow) multiple times in a single screenshot, I have to select it multiple times.

Is there a way to select it once, but use multiple times?

thx

If you turn off the option 'Switch to Object Selection mode after a new object is inserted' on the 'Drawing Object Options' preferences page should do as you want:
