Annotation Parameters

The annotation parameters are located in the Annotation node of the Standard Definition editor. They deal with the position of text leaders and annotation blanking parameters

Note: The parameters which allow you to customize annotation leader symbols are located in the Dimension node of the standard editor. The parameters located in the Dress-Up node let you customize the appearance of dress-up elements, such as markup arrows and threads.

 

These parameters depend on a given parent standard. 

Annotation Texts

Parameter

Description

Parent standard 

Value

Description

Text > Leader Gap

Horizontal offset between the text and the leader extremity 

ANSI and ASME only

(mm)

Text > Leader Vertical Space

Vertical offset between the bottom of the text and the horizontal part of the leader

ISO and JIS only

(mm)

   
 

Roughness Symbols

Parameter

Description

Parent standard 

Value

Description

Roughness > Layout

Layout of the roughness symbol

All standards

Authorized / Not authorized

Specifies whether a given field should be displayed (Authorized) or hidden (Not authorized) in the Roughness Symbol dialog box


 

Roughness > Leader Gap

Horizontal offset between the roughness and the leader extremity 

ANSI and ASME only

(mm)

Roughness > Leader Vertical Space

Vertical offset between the bottom of the roughness and the horizontal part of the leader

All standards

(mm)

 

Roughness > Extension Line > Thickness > Behavior

Behavior of the extension line thickness

All standards

Fixed / Variable with symbol

Specifies whether the thickness of the extension line should be fixed (using the value specified by the Line Thickness parameter below) or variable (using the graphic property of the thickness symbol itself).

Roughness > Extension Line > Thickness > Line Thickness

Extension line thickness index

All standards

Integer

Specifies the line thickness index (as defined in the LineThickness node of the current standard) that should be used to represent the extension line. This parameter is taken into account only if the Behavior parameter is set to Fixed.

Roughness > Extension Line > Gap to surface

Extension line gap to surface

All standards

(mm)

Specifies the gap between the extension line and the pointed object.

Roughness > Extension Line > Length according to symbol

Extension line length defined according to symbol or not

All standards

Yes / No

Specifies whether the extension line length should be defined according to the roughness symbol length.

With value set to Yes:

With value set to No:

Roughness > Extension Line > Overrun

Extension line overrun

All standards

(mm)

Specifies the overrun of the extension line.

When Length according to symbol parameter is set to Yes:

When Length according to symbol parameter is set to No:

Roughness > Leader anchor according to standard (for ANSI and ASME)

Leader anchor

ANSI and ASME only

Yes/No

In case of ANSI or ASME standard, specifies whether the roughness leader anchor parameter should be the normalized standard, i.e. the Leader Vertical Space parameter (with value set to Yes) or the Leader Gap parameter (with value set to No).
