Change the appearance of measurement markups

Foxit PDF Editor provides multiple ways to change the appearance of measurement markups. When you select a measurement markup, a toolbar will float above the measurement markup for you to quickly change the line color. You can also go to the Format tab in the right panel and the Properties dialog box to specify more advanced settings. If you change the appearance through the Format tab, Foxit PDF Editor will save the properties and apply them to any new measurement markups as well. If you change the appearance via the Properties dialog box and do not check Set Current Properties as Default option in the dialog, Foxit PDF Editor will only apply the properties to your currently selected markup.
