All the information that you annotate in your drawing can be represented in different formats, selecting different textbox shapes to display different feature can make the drawing easier to understand. In this part of the tutorial we learn to configure annotation preferences for the drawing.
It is evident in the drawing illustrated in the first part of this tutorial that all the annotations you made are displayed in a rectangular box. This makes it difficult to differentiate between the input, output, and custom annotations added to the drawing. To choose different formats to represent your annotations:
-
Select the Settings tab to view the list of input, output, and custom annotation features. You can select different box shapes for the features you annotate.
-
Let us select Circle for Node Numbers, No Box for Output Stress Data, and Filleted Rectangle for Nodal Annotations and Elemental Annotations.
You cannot view these changes in the display area, the changes you made are updated when you create a drawing.
