- [Instructor] We've applied some dimensions,
now I wanna talk about annotations.
All right, look at the annotation gallery here.
You'll see that there's all sorts of things
you can do with annotations.
You have your notes,
you've got your GD&T control frames,
datums, datum targets, and so on.
All of that stuff is here.
You also have center marks,
bolt circle center lines,
that type of thing.
So, for example, if I zoom in on this view,
let me change my selection filter here.
This isn't really the correct type of symbol
that we need in something like that.
So we can change, just delete those,
and say I want a bolt circle center line.
And pick, pick, pick.
Soon as I get to the third one,
you'll notice it puts in that center line.
I have it set to full circle.
Could turn that on, turn that off,
a partial circle.
This is just in here, the center line,
this is just for the way it looks, and so on.
You'll notice that I have through a center point as well.
So I coulda picked the center point,
picked the first one, and it would have
given me the bolt center line as well.
Now that I have the bolt center line in there,
I can go in and use this for my dimensions,
that type of thing.
As far as notes go.
I'm gonna click on the note functionality.
This note editor is really, extremely powerful.
And you'll notice that if I scroll down
to the bottom here, I have,
this is for origin, this is all about placements
and alignments, and annotation.
I have a leader for terminating objects,
and I'll show ya how to apply that.
Come back to that in a moment.
You have your text input.
And this is where you start entering-in your text.
This is for editing your text.
You'll notice that I can clear the text box,
I can cut, copy, paste, that type of thing.
You may have attributes, text attributes,
or symbol attributes that you need to
navigate through, and that's what these are for.
So, if I came in here now and just cleared that out,
and I dumped in a symbol, for example,
like a drafting symbol.
So, if I wanted to, I'll just say, all right,
I wanna insert a depth.
You'll notice that this is the symbol for depth.
If I wanted to insert a conical taper,
or any of these, you'll see that, for all of these
they have specific, basically, coding for that.
Now, if I use this select next symbol,
this allows me to navigate the symbols.
So you don't have to guess where
the breaks are at.
So if I needed to insert something in-between
those two symbols, I could insert whatever it is
I needed to insert between those two symbols.
So, that's what, basically, these input text
fields are for.
These symbols as well.
You'll notice that I have drafting, GD&T,
I can do fractions, custom symbols.
All sorts of great stuff that you can do.
All right, so let me
put in some text.
Now, with that, if I wanted to add a leader,
I can come in and specify that leader point.
Just by coming in here and selecting
my terminating object.
If I go to terminating object again
and I pick again,
you'll notice I get two leader points.
And again, this is selection intent stuff,
you have to make sure that you have your
selection intent set correctly,
you're picking the right geometry.
So I can create that note,
put that down on the drawing.
I'm just gonna close.
And now, if I go back to this note
and click on it, you'll notice that I have
my settings, looks familiar.
Very familiar, right?
We've seen this already with the drawing,
or the dimensions.
I can close that.
If I come over here and double-click on this,
it'll take me back to the note editor.
Also, for my leader lines,
if we come over to the leader itself
and right mouse click, I can delete it,
I can add a Joggle for shortened symbols.
So if I say add a Joggle, you'll notice that
I get a little point, which allows me now
to move that leader around.
So, like in this case like this,
if I wanted to I can right mouse click
and add that Joggle.
Take this up and around that dimension.
That type of thing.
And also, basically, you have full control
over what that leader is doing,
and the arrowheads as well.
Lemme close that.
Now, if I double-click on this again,
go back into it just to show you,
anything that I've applied basically sticks.
I also have an inherit button once again.
So if I have certain properties that I want
to show on a piece of text, I can do that.
So if I came in here, and I'm gonna add another note.
And put that in.
So for that, I'll go into my settings,
here's my height.
Double-click on my height.
Maybe I make it a little bit bigger.
Close that out.
And I realize maybe I want this text
to be the same size as that text
so I can double-click on that.
And with that, I can go down to inherit,
and this is one of those things where,
as you can see, it's inherited that note.
But it's gone and done more than simply
inherited that note.
It's taken not only the properties,
but it's actually taken the entire note.
So, when you use this tool,
just go careful with it.
You wanna make sure that before you apply that note,
or maybe you copy the information out that you want
and then go back and re-apply it.
But this will take not just the properties,
it'll actually inherit that whole entire note.
If I, again, look at my settings down here,
these are my settings that you just saw me go into.
You have your back angles, bold thickness,
text alignment.
So, pretty much everything that you would need
for your notes, for your text, is all there
within the one editor.
You don't have to bounce around, look around for it.
And, again, everything is very similar
as far as your settings.
So, if I click on a note, and click on a note.
I wanna make a global change to these notes.
I can go to edit settings here as well.
So, just pick those notes.
And if I come in and say you know what,
I want this to be five.
Done.
Just like that.
Or I can change the font as well.
So, again, if you have a scenario in which
you have several notes that you need to change,
sizes, font, whatever that may be,
you just pick them, hit your edit settings,
and away you go.
