TYPE

Annotation internal type number. If TYPE = DELE, delete annotation NUM.

Notes

This is a command generated by the GUI and will appear in the log file (Jobname.log) if annotation is used. This command is not intended to be typed in directly in a Mechanical APDL session (although it can be included in an input file for batch input or for use with the /INPUT command).

Type 13 (bitmap) annotation applies user defined bitmaps defined using the FILE option of the /TXTRE command.

This command is valid in any processor.
