# Registering an Annotation Tool File

You may want to use the annotation tool you created in Viewers on more than one PC. By copying the appropriate annotation tool file, you can use the same set of annotation tools on every PC. You don't have to create the same annotation tool on each PC.

## About annotation tool files

An annotation tool file is created for each annotation toolbar. The name of the annotation toolbar is used as the file name and the extension is "ann". The annotation tool files are stored in the "DWFolders\Annotations" folder created when DocuWorks is installed.
When you copy and register an annotation tool file to another PC, the corresponding annotation tools are added to the appropriate annotation toolbar and to the [Annotations] menu of that PC.

## Registering an annotation tool file

You can register an annotation tool file you have copied to Viewer as follows:

### Registering an annotation tool file by double-clicking it

Procedure
1.
Copy the annotation tool file (annotation toolbar name.ann) to the destination PC. You can copy it to any folder.
2.
Exit all DocuWorks programs.
3.
Double-click the copied annotation tool file in the Windows Explorer or the like.
The [Annotation Tool File Registration] dialog box appears.
4.
Click [Yes].
The annotation tool file is registered with Viewer and the corresponding annotation tools will be added to the appropriate toolbar and to the menu when you open Viewer next time.
Note

- If an annotation tool file with the same name exists, a confirmation message appears asking whether you want to overwrite it.
- You can register an annotation file only if you have specified your Personal Settings. Perform the above procedure after you have specified your Personal Settings.
- You can register an annotation tool file only on a PC which has the same version of DocuWorks installed.
- You can also register an annotation tool file using the command line.

### Registering an annotation file using the command line

You can register an annotation tool file by executing a command (dwregann.exe) from the command prompt or from a user program.
The following is an example of the command you can use when DocuWorks is installed to the default installation directory.
";C:\Program Files (x86)\FUJIFILM\DocuWorks\bin\dwregann.exe" C:¥aaa¥abc.ann
Note

- You must specify the full path name for the annotation tool file.
- You cannot specify more than one annotation tool file.
