Annotation Styles

The annotation styles let you define the default values that are used while creating the annotations.

This page discusses:

Annotation styles are located in the Styles node of the Standard Definition editor, available through Me > Preferences > Standards.

By default, a style called Default is available for each annotation style.

All the parameters associated to a given annotation style are listed in a dedicated table.

The Description column provides a description of each parameter. Certain parameters are only considered at creation time (that is, when creating the annotation), and not at modification time (that is, when reapplying a style to an annotation: the Applies at modification column indicates whether this parameter is taken into account at modification time.
