You can create annotations on the results of the Capture Component Specification command and, organize them under label sets, in 3D models.

This task shows you how to:

Display Set Name

You can decide to display or not the labels above the alignment. Depending on the results of the Capture Component Specification command, you can also show the name of the component specification set and the pattern distribution.

  1. From the Review section of the action bar, click Label Set .
  2. Select the element to annotate.

    It can be a specification set.

    If the result annotation is a specification set which is a private set, you cannot delete it with the Delete command. You must launch the Capture Component Specification command to delete it, as explained below. During edition, you cannot change it, and the selector is disabled.

  3. To define the label name that will appear in the 3D area, select the Display set name option.
  4. Select the Name option to display the input set name.
    The name appears above and in the middle of the curve that is used for the pattern.
  5. Select the Pattern/Span Distribution option, for example: 4x20m.

The Label Set feature is aggregated under the Destination Set in the tree. The Label Set feature aggregates a list of base annotations. The base annotations are used to represent annotations on each specification feature. Only one Label Set feature can be aggregated a specification set.

To edit a Label Set feature, double-click it. The Label Set dialog box opens. You can also change its graphical properties.

Display Distances Between Specifications

You can display distances between axis systems in addition to labels.

  1. Select the Display Distances Between Supports option.

    The following parameters automatically appear in the dialog box and in the 3D area:

    • Vertical Offset: to display a span distance from the curve.
    • Separator Height: the height of the segment separator between the numerical values.

  2. Click anywhere to display the annotation.

Clear the option to deactivate the distance display if needed.

  1. Double-click the result of the Capture Component Specification command in the tree.
    The corresponding dialog box dialog box is displayed.
  2. Click Show Preferences .

    In the component specification dialog box, the Create/Delete annotation option is cleared by default.

  3. Select the Create/Delete annotation option.
    The Label Set panel is displayed.
  4. Modify the annotation settings if necessary and click OK.
    The label sets are created on the component specification set.

Show/Hide Annotations
