| Assigned Annotations Display List and Controls |
- Display list columns — Used to manipulate Structural elements and the annotation styles applied to them during drawing annotation.
- Structural Elements – Displays the element types that are affected by the saved annotation style, as selected in the Element Group drop-down of the Assignment Editor section. The order determines how the member lines or labels will appear on screen — an element or line that is included in a group (steel beams, for example) will be affected by the first group that includes it, but no more. If, for example, you have as #1 All with No Labels in the Annotation Style, and as #2 Steel/Beams with Part/Family in the Annotation Style, then no labels will appear. This is because all elements, including steel beams, are in the group All.
- Annotation Style – Displays the name of the annotation style that was selected in the Style to Assign drop-down of the Assignment Editor section.
- Controls — Control buttons are used to apply, rank or remove selected styles.
- Apply – Applies the styles listed in the currently active tab (Member Lines or Labels). Even if you made no changes, the listed styles are reapplied.
- Up – Moves the highlighted annotation style up a level in rank. The rank is important, because a label or member line is affected only by the first annotation style that includes it. If you have created many styles and yet All is first in rank, then none of your custom styles will be applied. All member lines or labels are included in the All group, and therefore will take on the annotation of the All group.
- Down – Moves the highlighted annotation style down a level in rank. The rank is important, because a label or member line is affected only by the first annotation style that includes it. If you have created many styles and yet All is first in rank, then none of your custom styles will be applied. All member lines or labels are included in the All group, and therefore will take on the annotation of the All group.
- Delete – Deletes the highlighted annotation style selection. Any annotation styles below it move up in rank.
