Displaying Annotations in Parts and Assemblies

You can add annotations such as dimensions, notes, and symbols to your part or assembly model. You can:

Import the annotations from the model into a drawing (see Detailing Overview).

To toggle the display of annotations:

Right-click Annotations and select (or clear) the items to display:

Display Annotations. All annotation types that are selected in the Annotation Properties dialog box are displayed. This is the same as selecting the Display Annotations check box in the Annotation Properties dialog box.
Show Feature Dimensions. This is the same as selecting the Feature dimensions check box in the Display filter of the Annotation Properties dialog box.
Show Reference Dimensions. This is the same as selecting the Reference dimensions check box in the Display filter of the Annotation Properties dialog box.
Show DimXpert Annotations. This is the same as selecting the DimXpert dimensions check box in the Display filter of the Annotation Properties dialog box.

To toggle the display of selected feature dimensions:

To hide an individual dimension, right-click it, and select Hide.
