Annotation Rule General Behavior

  • Annotation rule has a unique related action that cannot be defined within knowledgeware rule associated to its condition. In this case, the purpose of the knowledgeware rule is to define condition only.
  • You can run the annotation rule during the view update.
  • Annotation is created for features from 3D listed in next sections, matching condition criteria, and having related generated item.
  • If you move the annotation manually, its location remains unchanged after the next view update.
  • If you delete the annotation, it is not created again after the next view update.

    To recreate the deleted annotation, update the view with the rule deactivated, then update again with the rule re-activated.
