Annotations

SOLIDWORKS has many tools for specific annotations, as shown below. You can control many properties of the annotations in PropertyManagers and dialog boxes.

Some annotations, such as dowel pin symbols and area hatch, are available only in drawings. Many others, such as notes and weld symbols, can be added in model documents during the design phase and then inserted automatically from the model documents into the drawings.
