About Modifiable Text in a 2D Component Instance
This sub topic provides information about modifying annotation text in a 2D component instance.
Important:
|
Attribute Link
You can add attribute links in the text content.
VPM Catalog
For 2D component instances created with a VPM catalog, if a text becomes modifiable in the catalog, you have to synchronize the external reference to make the 2D component instance text modifiable too (see Design IP Classification User's Guide: Creating a Catalog).
2D Component Reference Containing an Instance
If you create a 2D component reference (called MYREF for example) containing a 2D component instance with a modifiable text, the text will not be modifiable in instances of MYREF.
2D Components with Text Used as Symbol
To use 2D components with text as symbols, select these check boxes:
- Apply Scale (available when you right-click and select Properties > Text tab, under Options).
- Apply scale at creation to compensate view scale (in
Me
> Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems
expander).
The size of both the 2D component and its text will then be independent from the view scale.
