The Annotation Properties dialog box allows you to define annotation settings for each element type.
This dialog box allows you to define annotation settings for each element type. The dialog box consists of a list pane on the left and a control section on the right. The control section in the right side of the dialog allow you to edit the settings for the annotation that is currently highlighted in the list pane.
The dialog box consists of the following buttons:
and the following controls:
List Pane | |
---|---|
Label | Displays the name of the current annotation definition. |
Initial X Offset | Displays the initial X-axis offset of the annotation in feet. |
Initial Y Offset | Displays the initial Y-axis offset of the annotation in feet. |
Selected Annotation | |
Field Name | Lets you specify the attribute that is displayed by the annotation definition. |
Prefix | Lets you specify a prefix that is displayed before the attribute value annotation for each element to which the definition applies. |
Suffix | Lets you specify a suffix that is displayed after the attribute value annotation for each element to which the definition applies. |

Initial Height Multiplier | Sets the initial size of the annotation text. Set this at the time you create the annotation. |
Only list fields that apply to the active solver | When this box is checked, the Field Name list will only display those fields that are applicable to the currently active solver. The active solver can be changed in the Calculation Options (see Calculation Options Manager). |
