XLOC

Text X starting location (-1.0 < X < 1.6).

YLOC

Text Y starting location (-1.0 < Y < 1.0).

Text

Text string (60 characters maximum). Parameter substitution may be forced within the text by enclosing the parameter name or parametric expression within percent (%) signs.

Notes

Defines annotation text to be written directly onto the display at a specified location. This command is generated by the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and appears in the log file (Jobname.log) if annotation is used.

The 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 /INPUT).

All text is shown on subsequent displays unless the annotation is disabled or deleted. Issue /TSPEC to set the attributes of the text.

This command is valid in any processor.
