Annotation Styles

The annotation styles let you define the default values that will be used when creating annotations.

About Annotation Styles

Annotation styles are located in the Styles node of the Standard Definition editor, available via Tools > Standards.

By default, a style called Default is available for each annotation style.

All the parameters associated to a given annotation style are listed in a dedicated table.

The Description column provides a description of each parameter. Certain parameters are only taken into account at creation time (i.e. when creating the annotation), and not at modification time (i.e. when reapplying a style to an annotation: the Applies at modification column indicates whether this parameter is taken into account at modification time.
