To Change Location

To Change Size
Either select the shape by the resize handle and drag it to the desired size, or type appropriate Width/Length (or Height or Diameter) values into the fields. Units are 0 to 1.
To Change Fill Mode
You can draw the shape in filled mode or in outline mode.
To Apply Textures to the Shape
These are the same textures used by the parts and the button will open the part texture dialog, where textures or animations can be loaded and other set.
Note: 2D shape textures always replace the current shape color and modes like “modulate” and “decal” as well as custom projections and repeat behavior are not supported.
Other: To Rotate the Shape
According to the selected shape, other may exist, such as rotation, arrowhead, etc.
To delete a shape, right-click the shape in the Annotations object panel and Delete.
