Applying Annotation to Several Geometrical Elements

You can apply an existing annotation to several geometrical elements of a 3D shape.

Before you begin:
  • Open an existing 3D shape.
  • Improve the highlight of the related geometry by selecting Highlight faces and edges in Selection.

  1. From the Annotation section of the action bar, click Apply separately several times .
  2. Select an annotation.

    • All faces
    • Planar faces
    • Cylindrical faces
    • Spherical faces
    • Non-canonical faces
    • Fillet faces: You can specify the radius value

    The annotation is now applied to the selected features.



    Important: In the tree, a symbol appears on the node of the annotation selected while applying it to several geometrical elements.

  5. Right-click the annotation applied to the several elements and Annotation Application Mode > Apply Once.
    The annotation is applied only on the first selected element while creating the annotation.
