3D Annotations
SolidWorks part and assembly documents support 3D annotations according
to the ASME Y14.41-2003 standard.
To
turn on annotation view mode:
Right-click
the Annotations folder and select Enable
Annotation View Visibility.
3D annotations are organized according to the model's orthographic views,
such as front, bottom, isometric, etc. These orientations are called annotation
views, and they replicate the standard drawing view orientations. Annotation
views can be created automatically or manually.
By default, one annotation view exists for parts and assemblies: Unassigned Items . This
view contains any annotations that were not inserted into a specific annotation
view. Double-click
any annotation view to see the annotations in the view. An arrow indicates when an annotation view is active.
After you create annotation views in the model, you can use these views
in a drawing. The annotation views are converted into 2D drawing views
so that the annotations you inserted in the model appear in the drawing.
3D annotations in parts are
not dynamically linked to their corresponding drawings. If you change
a 3D annotation in a part, the drawing is not updated. You need to re-insert
the drawing view for the change to take effect.
