Secondary Area

The secondary area of the Annotation section provides commands for annotation creation and management.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Automatic Grouping
Flyout for Text Creation
Flyout for Datum, Geometrical Tolerance or Roughness Creation
Flyout for Dimension Creation


	Autoamtic See Flyout for Automatic Grouping.
	Text See Flyout for Text Creation.
	Flag Note See Creating a Flag Note.
	Datum Feature See Flyout for Datum, Geometrical Tolerance or Roughness Creation.
	Framed (Basic) Dimensions See Flyout for Dimension Creation.
	Weld Feature See Creating a Weld Feature.
	Apply separately several times Lets you apply an identical annotation on several features individually. See Applying Annotation to Several Geometrical Elements.
	Import Annotation Set Lets you import an annotation set on the selected 3D shape from an already existing 3D shape. See Importing an Annotation Set.
	Repair/delete invalid FTA features Repairs or deletes invalid FTA features which are partially or fully disconnected from geometries. See Managing Invalid Annotations.

Flyout for Automatic Grouping


	Automatic Grouping See Grouping Annotations Automatically.
	Annotations Positioning Positions all the annotations in the selected view or a capture, avoiding overlap for example, to ensure better readability. See Positioning the Annotations Automatically.

Flyout for Text Creation


	Text See Creating a Text.
	Text Parallel to Screen See Creating a Text Parallel to Screen.

Flyout for Datum, Geometrical Tolerance or Roughness Creation


	Datum Feature Creates a datum feature on the geometrical element. See Creating Datums.
	Datum Target Creates a datum target on the geometrical element, which is already defined as datum. See Creating Datum Targets.
	Geometrical Tolerance Creates a geometrical tolerance on a selected feature. See Creating Geometrical Tolerances.
	Surface Texture Creates a surface texture. See Creating Surface Texture Symbols.

Flyout for Dimension Creation


	Framed (Basic) Dimensions Creates framed basic dimensions from the selected context (Partial surfaces, datum targets, datum reference frames, and geometrical tolerances). See Framed/Basic Dimensions.
	Dimensions Creates a dimension of the selected element parallel to the active view. See Creating Length Dimensions.
	Cumulated Dimensions Creates cumulated dimensions measured from the first element. See Creating Cumulated Dimensions.
	Stacked Dimensions Creates stacked dimensions measured from the first element. See Creating Stacked Dimensions.
	Coordinate Dimensions Measures coordinates of a selected element from the selected reference axis system. See Creating Coordinate Dimensions.
	Curvilinear Dimensions Creates curvilinear dimensions to measure the length of a curve. See Creating Curvilinear Dimensions.
	Generative Dimension Generates all possible dimensions for a selected feature. See Generating Dimensions from a Part Design Hole.
