Creating an Automatic Default Annotation

This task shows you how to apply an existing annotation to several geometrical elements of a part by making it the default annotation.

Open the Annotations_Part_03.CATPart document:

Improve the highlight of the related geometry, see Highlighting of the Related Geometry for 3D Annotation.

Select the Insert > Annotations > Default Annotation Management > Default Annotation menu.

Select the Geometric Tolerance.1 annotation as shown:

The Default Annotation dialog box appears.

Select Automatic Selection in the Default Annotation dialog box, All faces option in the combo box and click OK.

The annotation is now applied to all the faces of the part.

According to the selected annotation you will find the following option in the combo box.

	`Annotation and Tolerance types`	`Options`
	Roughness Non-semantic Geometrical Dimension and Tolerance Text Flagnote Note Object Attribute (NOA)	All faces Planar faces Cylindrical faces Spherical faces Non-canonical faces Fillet faces
	Profile of a surface with Datum Reference Frame	All faces Planar faces Cylindrical faces Spherical faces Non-canonical faces Fillet faces
	Profile of a surface without Datum Reference Frame	All faces Planar faces Cylindrical faces Spherical faces Non-canonical faces Fillet faces
	Flatness	Planar faces
	Generator straightness	Cylindrical faces
	Cylindricity	Cylindrical faces
	Circularity	Cylindrical faces
	Radius size	Cylindrical faces Spherical faces Fillet faces
	Diameter size	Cylindrical faces Spherical faces
