Notes

Creates an annotation circle to be written directly onto the display at a specified location. This is a command generated by the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and appears 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).

All circles are shown on subsequent displays unless the annotation is turned off or deleted. Issue /LSPEC and /PSPEC to set the attributes of the circle.

This command is valid in any processor.
