Moving Annotations

You can move a text annotation.

There are two ways of moving a text annotation:


  • by drag and drop,

  • by using coordinates.

The operating mode described here applies to datum elements, datum targets, geometrical tolerances and capture callouts.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.

  1. Select the annotation text.

  2. Drag it to the desired location.

    Important:

    You can stretch or reduce the frame during the moving.

  3. Move it using coordinates: enter the value of your choice in the X, Y field from the Orientation and Position toolbar, then enter another value to define the rotation in the A field.

    Tips:

    You can set the increment of your choice to define the rotation angle. For more information, refer to Manipulators.



    This is what you can obtain.
