Filtering Annotations from the 3D Area

You can filter annotations from the 3D area.

This task shows you how to:

Show or Hide Annotations

You can use Show annotations and Hide annotations to manage the display of one or multiple annotations.

  1. Select an FTA element or a geometrical object.
  2. From the context toolbar, do either of the following:

    • Click Show annotations .

      Annotation sets are loaded and enabled in both 3D View Browser and 3D Annotation Filter panels. The element is displayed in the 3D area.

    • Click Hide annotations .

      Annotation sets are disabled in both 3D View Browser and 3D Annotation Filter panels. The element is hidden in the 3D area.

    The selected items are shown or hidden as follows:

    Selected ItemShown or Hidden Item
    Annotation View and all related annotations
    View Annotation
    Capture Capture and all related annotations
    Geometrical object and annotation set Annotation set of the geometry

Show Geometry Attachments

Show Geometry Attachments is available when the display of selected annotations is missing to visually understand their link to the geometry, and at least a linked annotation is hidden.

  1. Select an annotation.

  2. Click Show Geometry Attachments .
    The annotations showing which geometries are linked to these annotations are displayed.

Navigate Annotations and the Product Structure

You can move along the graduation of the level selector to navigate the annotation set structure, explore the structure of the model and select an object at a specific level.

Note: When you hover over a graduation mark, the active structure level is highlighted and the name of the element is displayed in a label.

  1. Select a single element in the model.
  2. From the context toolbar, click Level Selector .
  3. Depending on the selected element, you can then select the following:
