Annotation View Flat to Screen

An annotation view called Notes Area view is always flat to screen.

In compliance with ASME Y14.41-2003 and other Model Based Definition standards, the Notes Area annotation_notes_area.png annotation view is available on all parts and assemblies. All contents on Notes Area will be displayed flat to screen and static in relation to each other. When the model is rotated, all elements on the Annotation View will remain flat to screen at their position relative to each other.

Managing Notes Areas

You can create multiple notes area annotation views in parts and assemblies, and you can delete and rename notes areas. You can also specify which notes area to display when opening the document.

The notes areas are placed in the Notes folder, which is under the Annotations folder in the FeatureManager design tree. Multiple notes areas let you create various sets of notes and place them on specific note areas that you can activate.

To create a notes area:

  • In the FeatureManager design tree, in the Annotations folder, right-click Notes and click Insert Notes Area.

    A notes area is added to the Notes folder with a sequential number following the name, for example, Note area3.

To delete a notes area:

  • In the FeatureManager design tree, in the Annotations folder, right-click a Note area and click Delete.

To rename a notes area:

  1. In the FeatureManager design tree, in the Annotations folder, click-pause-click the Note area to rename.
  2. Type the new name.
  3. Press Enter.

To specify a notes area to display when opening a part or assembly:

  • In the FeatureManager design tree, in the Annotations folder, right-click the Note area and click Show on Open.
    To change the notes area to display on open, you must first clear the selected notes area to display. Right-click the notes area and clear Show on Open.
