What is the Highlight tool used for?

Highlight surrounds an item or comment on the drawing with a colored polygon — useful for drawing attention to a question or callout. Press the Highlight button (default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H), draw a polygon as you would for an area takeoff, and press Highlight again to turn it off. The polygon color matches the current takeoff color. Highlights can be deleted with Select Object.
