Displays controls for adding and editing annotation objects.
Decrease Size
Reduces the size of the annotation. The available sizes are controlled through the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file.
Increase Size
Enlarges the size of the annotation. The available sizes are controlled through the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file.
Select Size
Select a size for the annotation from the list. The available sizes are controlled through the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file. The values depend on the type of object that you have selected to edit. For example, if you have selected a plate part, the list contains those values specified for plates.
Rotate
Rotates the selected annotation. The software prompts you to select a rotation axis point, a rotation starting point, and a rotation end point. The rotation end point is not needed if you select a value in the Select Rotation Angle box.
Select Rotation Angle
Select a rotation angle for the annotation. The available angles are controlled through the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file. If you select a value in this box, the software uses that angle to compute the rotation end point.
Type
Select the annotation type to place. The list contains the annotation types included in the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file using the attribute name <TYPE> and <DISPLAY_NAME>.
Make Annotation
Displays the Part Editor Object Attribute Manager Dialog, which creates custom annotation for the selected object. The custom annotation attributes such as text and geometry are controlled by the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file. Making an annotation adds the following:
-
Annotation attribute set to the selected group.
-
Annotation_Text attribute set to all text inside the group. For each text inside the group, a CustomText_<number> is added as an attribute.
-
Annotation_Edge attribute set to all edges inside the group.
