Annotation
You can annotate your designs, drawings, and 3D markups with notes, dimensions, geometric tolerances, surface finish and datum symbols, as well as center marks, center lines, and threads. When you create annotations that are attached to the objects in your design, they stay attached, even when you modify those objects using the Design tools. Annotations created on a drawing sheet or 3D markup slide are part of that sheet or markup only--they do not appear on your design.
Each annotation has properties which you can modify in the Properties panel. When you create the first annotation, it is scaled so that it will be visible when your design is zoomed to its extents in the Design window. All other annotations use the same scale.
