About associative annotations
This sub-topic provides information about associative annotations.
Orientation links
- If you create a link between an annotation and a dimension system,
remember that the link can only be made on a single dimension of the
system.
- In a Generative Drafting context, certain types of generated elements
(such as Pipe elements) are not associative. For this reason, positional
links between an annotation and such elements is not taken into account.
- If you copy an annotation and paste it on an element that can be
linked to an annotation (refer to Elements that can be Linked to Annotations
above), an associative link is automatically created between the pasted
annotation and this element.
- The rigid character of positional links created on text, table or
geometrical tolerance bodies depends on options selected in the settings
(via Tools > Options...) using creations commands and the
copy/paste operations.
- When the annotation is isolated, the positional link is removed,
rigid or not.
Flexible positional link of roughness symbols have a peculiar behavior.
The relative position of roughness can be modified while the distance
between the roughness symbol and the reference element remains unchanged.
This allows the annotation to slide along a line and turn around a point
or a circle.
- Annotation positional links created in pre-R19 versions are flexible
positional links.
- Annotations created in Functional Tolerancing and Annotations workbench
do not support creation of rigid positional links when views are generated
from it.
