A common task during the analysis process is presenting model and results data with additional notations applied, such as dimensions, comments, highlights, or other text or artwork. You can enhance the program's standard display with a variety of annotation primitives including text, dimensions, polygons, symbols, and even pie charts.

Annotation functions are available for both 2D and 3D graphics cards. You can apply 3D annotation even if a 2D graphics card is installed or a 2D driver (Win32 or X11) is loaded. For best results, however, Ansys, Inc. recommends installing a quality 3D graphics card is installed and the appropriate 3D or Open GL device driver.

The ! and $ characters are not available for text annotation.
