| N/A | - Name
Specifies the actor name. This name appears in the Collaboration or Assembly tree and is the default tooltip text.

- Tooltip
Specifies the tooltip text that appears when you hover over the actor. The default is the actor name, but you can select a different property or meta-property, or type a text string. To type text, which itself can contain properties, select
String and use the
Tooltip string property.
Note:
By default, labels attached to an actor display the actor's tooltip text. To change this behavior, modify the label's
Text property.
|
- Opacity
Specifies the opacity, from 0 (transparent) to 255 (solid).
|
- Stay on top
Makes the collaborative actor visible even when a geometry actor covers it.
|
- Auto show
Displays hidden annotation and measurement actors temporarily when you move the mouse pointer over the associated geometry actor. The annotation or measurement disappears when you hover over a different actor. Note:
The Collaboration tree does not reflect this temporary change of visibility.
|
- Auto alignment
-
Specifies positions for collaborative actors with respect to their
associated geometry actors:
Perimetric,
Circle,
Rectangle,
Bottom,
Bottom and left,
Bottom and right,
Bottom and top,
Top,
Top and left,
Top and right,
Left,
Left and right,
Right,
Free 2D,
Free 3D.
Notes:
- To align collaborative actors using magnetic lines,
Auto alignment must be
Free 2D or
Free 3D. When dragged onto a magnetic line, an
actor's
Auto alignment is set to
Free 2D automatically.
- To ensure that cutting planes are applied to annotations, you must
set
Auto alignment to either
Free 2D or to
Free 3D.

|
- Size in paper space
Defines the font size in the paper space. When you resize the viewport or zoom the paper space, the text scales accordingly. To define text size as fixed in the viewport, clear this property.
Note:
You can specify the default value using
AnnotationRelativeComposer (for Composer) or
AnnotationRelativePlayer (for Composer Player) on the Application Preferences - Advanced Settings page.
|

Text value is used as the annotation text. You can choose the selected actor (level 0) or any parent. For example, you can select a part or its parent assembly.
