Notes

This command defines annotation lines to be written directly onto the display at a specified location.

The command is generated by the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and appears in the log file (Jobname.log) if annotation is used. It 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).

All lines are shown on subsequent displays unless the annotation is turned off or deleted. Issue /LSPEC to set the attributes of the line.

This command is valid in any processor.
