Making the Position of a Text Associative 

This task shows you how to set a positional link between a text and another element.
This allows you to move several annotations in only one interaction.
Open the Annotations_Part_04.CATPart document.

  1. Right-click the slave text (text itself, frame or leader) and select the Annotation Links > Create Positional Link contextual menu.

  2. Select the master text (text itself, frame or leader).

    An information popup appears to warn you that the slave text is now at the master elevation. 
Master and slaves texts must belong to the same active view and associated geometrical element.
 

  1. Move the master text: both texts are moving and their distance remains the same.

  2. Now, if you move the slave text you selected, only this annotation is moved.
To delete the associativity, right-click the slave text and select the Annotation Links > Delete Positional Link contextual menu.
 

  1. Right-click the slave text and select the Annotation Links > Query Object Links contextual menu.

    The Query Link Panel dialog box appears.
    It show that a positional link has been created between this annotation and Text.2 annotation.
