Visualization of Annotation States

There are various states for annotations. Visualization of annotations helps you to identify the active annotations.

State Description Preview
Preview It is the creation state and appears when you insert dimension.
Pre-placement (for touch devices)

This is the state right after dimension creation in touch devices. The dimension is pre-placed with offset.

Normal It is the normal state for annotations that are already implemented.
Preselected It is the visual clue when you hover over the annotations.
Selected It is the visual clue when you select the annotations.
Broken or Warning When geometry is modified in the design and the annotation loses its reference position. You have to reattach.
Wrong orientation

(This is only visible when Analysis Display Mode is active.)

It occurs when something is wrong with the reference from where the annotation was created, for example if the 3D model is modified.
Read only This is read-only dimensions.
