About associative and non-associative annotations:
When you create an annotation, a type of leader is automatically set,
provided the standard files have not been modified. If you choose the
Automatic option, a default symbol will be used, depending on the standard
type, on the annotation type, and on whether the leader is associated to an
element or not:
- If the leader is associated to an element:
- Unfilled arrow for ANSI / ASME
- Open arrow for ISO / JIS
- If the leader is not associated to an element:
- Unfilled circle for ANSI / ASME
- Filled circle for ISO / JIS

-
Right-click the yellow manipulator at the end of the
leader.
The leader's contextual menu is displayed.
-
Choose from the available options.
-
To add a breakpoint, select Add a Breakpoint.
Then, to remove this breakpoint, right-click the breakpoint and
select Remove a Breakpoint.
-
To add an extremity to an existing breakpoint,
right-click the breakpoint, select Add an extremity, and
then click in the sheet to position the extremity.
See,
Arrow or leader
orientation.
 |
Notes: |
|
- You can add an extremity only in the case of a text or a
welding symbol.
- If the leader extremity is perpendicular to a reference,
an orientation link is created between the leader and the
reference.
|
Then, to remove this extremity, right-click
the yellow manipulator on the additional extremity and select Remove Leader/Extremity.
 |
Right-clicking the yellow manipulator on the main leader extremity will remove the leader. |
-
To add an interruption, select Add an Interruption
and then, on the leader, click the two points between which you want to
add the interruption. Then, to remove this interruption, right-click
the leader yellow manipulator and select Remove Interruptions.
 |
Any existing interruption will be removed from the leader when
adding or removing breakpoints. |
-
To remove the leader, select Remove
Leader/Extremity.
-
To add an
extremity link, select Add Extremity Link and then,
select any reference element. You can replace, remove, or make this
link perpendicular.
- To make the
extremity link perpendicular, right-click the yellow
manipulator and select Extremity Link >
Perpendicular.
- To replace the reference element, select
Extremity Link >
Replace
and then, select another reference element.
- To remove the extremity link, select
Extremity Link >
Remove.

-
To add an application zone symbol, point to
Application Zone. Then select No Zone if you do not
want a symbol, or select the required symbol from the following
available symbols:
-
Global All Around
- Partial All Around
-
Global All About with horizontal axis indicator
- Global All About with vertical axis indicator
- Partial All About with horizontal axis indicator
- Partial All About with vertical axis indicator
-
Global All Over
- Partial All Over
For example, to add an all around symbol, select
Global All Around.
These symbols are used to specify that a
specification is to be applied all around, all about or all over the 3D
profile of a part. You can also specify whether it is to be applied
globally or partially. This complies with ISO, JIS and ASME
international standards.
-
To modify the leader symbol shape, point to Symbol
Shape. Then, select No Symbol if you do not want a
symbol for the leader, or select the symbol you want from the available
symbols.
 |
You can remove the leader extremity symbol for all annotations. |
-
You can also move the leader or any existing breakpoints
by dragging the yellow control point.
-
To move the annotation but not the leader, click the
annotation and move it using the mouse.
-
To move the leader along with the annotation while
making sure the leader keeps its original shape, select Rigid
and then move the annotation.
 |
- This functionality is available for texts, welding symbols,
2D components, tables and geometrical tolerances, but not for
other annotation types.
- This functionality also applies when rotating the annotation
text using the Free Rotation
command.
