Import an Annotation Set Using Geometrical Reroute
You can import an annotation set from an existing 3D part to an another 3D part using geometrical reroute.
- Activate the 3D shape representation in which you want to import the annotation set.
-
From the
Annotation section of the
action bar,
click
Import Annotation Set
.
The Import Annotation Set dialog box appears.
Note:The Symmetry plane box allows you to select the symmetry plane for a 3D part resulting from a part symmetry.
Right-click this box and select Clear Selection to clear the selection.
-
Select the annotation set in the 3D part containing the
annotation set as reference.
The name of the selected annotation set is displayed in the Import Annotation Set dialog box.
-
Select the
As Result With Link check box to import the
annotations with their links maintained with the reference.
The non-editable annotations are applied on the selected feature with the links to original annotations. In the tree, the annotation nodes appear with the masks on them.Notes:
- The mask
appears when the source feature and target feature are in the same document.
- When the source FTA feature and target result feature are in same document and you modify the source feature, the result features is synchronized automatically.
- When the source FTA feature and target result feature are in different
documents and you modify the source feature, the synchronization status
(synchronized
or unsynchronized
) of the result features is also indicated using the masks.
- The copy-paste as result with link is not supported for FTA proxy annotations (assembly presentation annotations or non-editable result annotations).
- When the original source FTA features are modified, the corresponding changes are propagated to the result features.
- When source FTA feature is deleted, the linked FTA result annotations are converted to authoring annotations.
- When you import or export the FTA product, in the generated data, the result with link annotations lose the link with their source annotations and they are converted into authoring annotations.
- The style and the position or orientation of a FTA result feature can be edited.
- The source and target drafting standards must have identical names and the
target drafting standard level must be equivalent to or higher than that of
the source. Otherwise, the drafting standard of the target annotation set is
upgraded to the level of the source annotation set.
This is possible only if the drafting standard level of the source annotation set is of equivalent or higher than that of the target. If it is of a lower level, the duplication fails.

Click
OK.
Tip: Clicking while the following cursor is displayed is equivalent to OK.
The annotation set is copied or merged in the target 3D part representation.Important: All duplication rules in the source annotation set are duplicated but not necessarily displayed. For more information, see Duplication Rules when Importing an Annotation Set.
