Handles
- Handles transparency
- Defines the annotation handle transparency percentage.
By default, the percentage value is 80 %. - Reference size
- Defines the annotation handle size. By default, the reference size is
3 mm.
- Zoomable
- Defines whether the annotation handle is zoomable. By default, this check box is cleared.
Paper Grid
- Spacing
- Select the spacing of the paper grid to specify that
the annotation should be snapped on the grid. This option is used to
position 3D annotations. By default, the spacing is set to
1 mm.
- Snap by default (SHIFT toggles)
-
Select this check box to use snapping automatically when positioning an annotation. Press Shift to activate/deactivate this option temporarily.
- When manipulating an annotation: If the Snap by default option is selected and Shift is pressed, the annotation position is no more snapped on the grid, and conversely if the Snap by default option is cleared and Shift is pressed, the annotation position is snapped on the grid.
- When manipulating a leader breakpoint:
- When the leader is placed on a reference: If the Snap by default option is cleared and Shift is pressed, the leader orientation is snapped on the privileged direction with respect to the reference.
- When the leader is not placed on a reference: If the Snap by default option is cleared and Shift is pressed, the leader orientation is snapped between horizontal and vertical direction.
- If the Snap by default option is selected, the leader orientation position is first snapped on the privileged direction and then on the closest grid point or grid line (if no grid point is located on the privileged direction).
By default, this check box is cleared.
Rotation
- Rotation snap angle
-
Specify the angle that should be used when rotating text elements (text, frame, or leader) using snapping. In other words, this option defines the snapping value used when rotating an element using the rotation handle.
- In case of annotations, snapping angles are computed according to their orientation reference: it can be the X direction of their sheet or the X direction of their view.
- In case of pictures, snapping angles are computed according to their orientation corresponding to a snapping angle (for example, 0, 90, 180, 270 deg for a rotation snap angle of 90 deg).
By default, the rotation snap angle is set to 90
deg. - Snap by default (SHIFT toggles)
-
Select this check box to use snapping automatically when rotating an element. Press the Shift key to activate/deactivate this option temporarily.
By default, this check box is selected.
Orientation
- Snap on privileged directions
- Select this check box to use snapping automatically when orienting a
leader on the following privileged directions:
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Reference normal
- Reference tangent
By default, this check box is selected.
Dimension Handles
- Modify overrun
- Defines whether overrun extension lines can be modified during creation and modification.
- Modify blanking
- Defines whether blanking can be modified during creation and modification.
- Insert text before
- Defines whether a text before can be inserted during creation and modification.
- Insert text after
- Defines whether a text after can be inserted during creation and modification.
- Move value
- Defines whether only the value can be moved during creation and modification.
- Move dimension line
- Defines whether only the dimension line can be moved during creation and modification.
- Move dimension line secondary part
- Defines whether only the dimension line secondary part can be moved during creation and modification.
- Move dimension leader
- Defines whether the dimension leader can be moved during creation and modification.
Annotation Handles
- Rotate annotation
- Defines whether annotation can be rotated during selection or text edition.
- Stretch text
- Defines whether annotation text can be stretched during selection or text edition.
- Resized text
- Defines whether annotation text can be resized during selection or text edition.
- Slide text
- Defines whether annotation text can be moved horizontally during selection or text edition.
- Resize leader anchor point
- Defines whether annotation leader anchor point can be resized during selection or text edition.
- Move leader anchor point
- Defines whether annotation leader anchor point can be moved during selection or text edition.
- Move leader
- Defines whether annotation leader can be moved during selection or text edition.
- Indicate a movable datum
- Defines whether movable datum is indicated during selection or text edition.
- Indicate a movable datum
- Displays the annotation inversion handle, using which you can invert the surface texture annotation.
