| General | - 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.
|
- Tooltip string
(Available when
Tooltip is
String.) Specifies the tooltip text. Type your text, optionally with
property keywords. For geometry actors, click
 to display the
Text pane, where you can type multiple lines of text and more easily embed properties.
See Text pane for details on property keywords and the Text pane.
|
- Opacity
Specifies the opacity, from 0 (transparent) to 255 (solid).
|
- Stay on top

|
- 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.
|
- Show red lines
-
(Available for radius and diameter measurements, for distance between
centers, and for distance between two axes.) Shows the measurement construction
line.

|
- Show construction line
(Not available when

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.
|
- Show axis vertices
- (Available for distance between
centers, and for distance between two axes.) Shows the axis vertices.
|
- Auto hide

|
- Font
Specifies the font family, style, and size of actor text. The default font family is your machine's default font or Arial depending on
Use default GUI font for text (Application Preferences - Viewport). The default size is specified by
Font size ([Default] Document Properties - Paper Space).
Notes:
-
Font (size) and
Size properties are linked.
- When a font is not available in a vector image format, it is replaced by a default font. If the vector output is not acceptable, use a different font in Composer.
|
- Size
Specifies the text size, in points. The default size is specified by
Font size (in [Default] Document Properties - Paper Space).
Notes:
-
Font (size) and
Size properties are linked.
- Because
Size is stored as pixels in Composer files, changing your screen resolution (DPI) changes rendered text sizes.
|
- 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.  | | Before Zooming the Paper Space
|  | | After:
Size in paper space Enabled |  | | After:
Size in paper space Disabled |
Note:
You can specify the default value using
AnnotationRelativeComposer (for Composer) or
AnnotationRelativePlayer (for Composer Player) on the Application Preferences - Advanced Settings page.
