In order to effectively utilize the Annotation Layer of a Viewport it is extremely cumbersome to be moving from the Design Layer to the Sheet Layer and into the Annotation Layer. It would be extremely helpful if there was a way to toggle directly between the Design Layer and the Annotation Layer Thanks

Thanks to both of you. The black and white tab under advanced properties was the ticket. ck

I am trying to utilize the Redline Tool but I am not really sure what the proper way to use it is. I attempted to use it in the Design Layer of the viewport, but it put the notes way out beyond the drawing. I attempted to use it in the Annotations area of the viewport, but it would not show up in red, only in black. I could not find anyway to modify the color. I attempted to use when I was in the Sheet Layer and it seem to work fine, except for the fact that I could not readily check dimensional aspects of the drawing without going into the Design Layer or Annotations. This seems excessively annoying. So I assume I am not thinking clearly or am totally misunderstanding how to use the tool. It would seem to me that it should work best on the Annotation area. Clarity would be appreciated. I am using VW 2012 with Service Packs all up to date. I am using a Mac with OS X.6 Snow Leopard with all Updates installed. Thanks
