Drawing Annotation Groups - Plan, Profile, and Cross Section
Drawing Annotation group includes three types off annotation as given below.
Plan Annotation
There are three types of annotations added under the Plan.
- Plan Drawing Annotation - Cells, Texts, or Lines are placed on plan drawings like North Arrow.
- Plan Match-line Annotation - This is used to annotate Match-line across the drawings or sheets. Generally, the start and stop match line of each drawing is annotated with a line and the respective stations.
- Plan Grid Annotation - The properties here are defined for the grid lines in the plan drawing. The location, rotation, styles, and templates for text and lines both can be set.
Profile Annotation
There are different types of annotations in the profile.
Frame Annotation
We can add various rows and define the label properties, locations, and frame sizes.
Frame annotation titles can be displayed on the right side as well when the plan and profile drawings are in a right-to-left orientation.
New options are added to the Display Properties tab to define the location of the title. It can display titles on the Left, Right, or on both sides.
Once the Right or Left and Right option is selected, the text style, horizontal location open, and ratio value can be defined for both sides separately for each Row title.
