Annotation Options

Specify the height of the annotation text.

Specify the size of the circle that connects note leaders to faces.

Specify the length of the arrow on note leaders.

Specify the size of the arrowhead on note leaders.

Specify the length of the line from the note text to the note leader arrow.

Specify the size of the margin between the note text and the beginning of the note leader.

Specify the length that a center line will extend past the edge of the object.

Select the style you want to use for the arrowheads on note leaders from the drop-down list.

Select the shape you want to use for the arrowheads on dimensions and leaders from the drop-down list.

Select how you want to align the note leader text with the note leader line from the drop-down list.

Select the font you want to use if the new window font is not available.

Select the default space for adding notes. The options available are View space (default) and Model space. Notes in the Model space are their true size and are not scaled based on the Detail scale setting.

Select the symbol you want to use to indicate the virtual sharp.

Select the frame style for datum symbols.

Select the attachment style for datum symbols.

Choose whether thread designations are shown instead of thread diameters:

• Never: Show the diameter and not the thread designation.

• Always: Show the thread designation instead of the diameter.

• Per thread table: Use the value for ShowThreadDesignationInDiameterDimensions in the thread table XML file. The value can be set to true or false.

• If units match: Show the thread designation if the system units match the units from the thread table.

• Per thread table if units match: Show the thread designation if the units match and if the ShowThreadDesignationInDiameterDimensions value is true.

Controls how many times larger the callout circle should be compared to the text height.

Controls the point size used by datum target points, lines, and circles. Default point size can be overridden on a per object basis.

Controls the hatch spacing for circular and rectangular datum targets. Default spacing can be overridden on a per object basis.

Controls the hatch angle for circular and rectangular datum targets. The default angle can be overridden on a per object basis.

Controls the arrow shape of leaders connected to datum targets.

Choose either AWS or ISO.

Check the box to use the European standard of keeping the dimension line when the extension lines are shown.

Check the box to shrink the gap between the dimension text and witness lines.

Check the box to keep all annotation text oriented horizontally.

Check the box to set all annotation text to the color selected shown in the Annotation color control. If you choose to override the layer color, select the color used for the override from the Annotation color control.

Specify the size of the margin between geometry and the end of dimension lines.

Specify the length that the dimension lines cross each other.

Specify the length of the arrow that appears outside the dimension lines.

Specify the distance between the dimension text and its leader line.

Specify the size of the cross shown to represent the center.

Choose either Linear or Normal to chamfer.

Choose between:

• <length> X 45
• C <length>

Display the baseline dimension as a 0.

Display all dimensions along the same line.

Check Rotate text if you want the dimensions to be displayed along the line instead of perpendicular to the line.

Show or hide the endpoint.

Allow solid geometry to hide annotations that are behind the geometry. For printing, set the Print as image to Yes in the Printing Options to show annotations as hidden in the print.
