Annotations are model items used to add notes, remarks, and other information to your drawing. You can use annotations to include any type of information previously inserted into a drawing using primitive commands. Annotations include everything from geometric shapes to extension and dimension lines.

Because annotations are frequently parametric, often you can resize them to fit your needs.

Placing annotations works like placing any other component in a drawing. When you place an annotation, which has an item type of item note, on a drawing, you can then place a label on the item note. These labels allow you to enter the remarks, notes, and other information that you need to effectively annotate your drawings.

You cannot annotate drawings by opening them in SmartSketch and adding drawing items to the drawing. Opening and saving a .pid file in SmartSketch can corrupt the file, making the drawing unusable.

Annotations are a way to place free remarks in a drawing. There are several design labels of different formats available in Catalog Explorer. Most of these labels require placing an annotation point or other design graphic on the drawing first and then attaching a label to the graphic. The plain annotation point is located in the Graphics folder under the Annotation node; however, there is one item in the Labels folder with an annotation point built into it. It is called Item Note & Label, and it looks like this:
