    The 3D grid appears.



  3. Drag the annotation to approximate position.



    Important: To snap the annotation while manipulating:
    • Select the Snap by default (SHIFT toggles) check box under Paper Grid, available in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > 3D Tolerancing & Annotation > Handles section.
    • Enter the spacing between two snapping points in the Snapping box.
    Note: You can press the Shift key to deactivate the snapping temporarily.
