Editing Annotations
The EditAnnotation command lets you edit different types of Text entities: Notes, SimpleNotes, Dimension text, Leader annotations, BlockAttributes, and BlockAttribute definitions.
To edit text or annotations:
- Click Modify > Entity > Annotation (or type EditAnnotation).
- In the graphics area, select a Text entity.

- was created using the SimpleNote command, edit the text in-place using the SimpleNote Formatting pop-up toolbar for formatting.
- was created using the Note command, edit the text in-place using the Note Formatting pop-up toolbar for formatting.
- is an attribute definition created using the MakeBlockAttribute command, edit the entity in the Edit BlockAttribute dialog box.
- is a Block with attributes that you can edit with the EditBlockAttribute command, edit the entity in the Edit BlockAttribute Values dialog box.
- is a Leader created using the Leader or SmartLeader commands, edit the entity in the Edit Note dialog box.
- is a Dimension, edit the Dimension text in the Edit Note dialog box.
Use the NoteOptions command to determine whether to edit Notes and SimpleNotes in-place or in a dialog box.
