Annotation Find w/Line

Draws a line from a picked point to all occurrences of search text.

Keyboard Command: AnnFndLin

This tool may seem a bit extreme when you first try it, but once you use it you will see the advantages. It works by asking for a text string to find, then a picked point on the drawing. It proceeds to evaluate the selected text and if the string value is contained, it draws a line object in the current layer/color from the picked point to the insertion point of the annotation. It is then extremely simple to find the matching text for all desired editing.

Once editing of the annotation is complete, an erase 'crossing' near the hub point picked will quickly erase all pointer lines.
