Projected annotations

This command allows you to project annotations (dimensions, tolerance references, tolerances, ...) in a view of the template document.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select the Detailing > Projected annotations... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the view in which to project annotations.

  2. Select the annotation type (All, tolerance annotations, or modeling dimensions).

  3. Select the dimension style to use

  4. Select the datum feature style to use (except if you only project modeling dimensions).

  5. Select the geometric tolerance style to use (except if you only project modeling dimensions).

  6. Validate by clicking .

 

 

 

Half part dimensions are taken into account too. The display mode in the drafting is identical to the one defined in the 3d.

 

 

An annotation can be moved to another view by pressing and holding down the SHIFT key and dragging it to the desired view. However, make sure that this modification is consistent (a depth dimension cannot be on a front view).

The destination view must have an operation of projected annotation and the plane of the annotation must not be perpendicular to the plane of the destination view. The typical example is the case of a perspective view with a projected with the option "Parallel to the projection plane".

 

 
  • Modeling dimensions from operations can't be moved from one view to another.
  • In the case of assembly with instance families, the projected annotations will be the annotations of the occurrence of instance families.

 

 

Advanced options:

 

 

 

  • Annotations Parallel to a Projection Plane: Only annotations parallel to a projection plane will be projected. On a perspective view, no annotation will display with this option.

  • All: All annotations that can be displayed in this view will be projected.

 

 

 

  • Free: the annotations can be moved manually.

  • Optimized: the annotations are placed around the view, respecting the positioning distance and the interval between two dimensions.

  • Track 3D positions: the position of annotations is defined by the 3D document. In this case, to move the annotation to the view, open the projected document (part, assembly, ...) and move the annotation to this document.

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

All modifications are available from the popup menu of the projected annotation.
