Dimensions and Annotation

Annotation Elements display numeric or textual data in 2D views, either about the elements they refer to or as standalone informative elements.

• Dimensions can be placed in the Floor Plan, the Section/Elevation/IE, the 3D Document, and the Detail and Worksheet windows.

  Many dimensions are associative, which means that dimension values will be updated automatically if the element they are associated to is modified. You can also place non-associative, static dimensions.

• The Grid Tool allows you to place Grid elements individually or in a Grid System. Grid elements are part of the model and serve as an editable framework for placing multiple elements or for identifying locations in the model.
• Texts are inserted using the Text tool, in text blocks accompanied by a flexible formatting options.
• Autotext is a text element containing a definition filled in automatically by the program. Autotext can be placed in both Model Views and Layouts.
• Labels allow you to link text information or a symbol to construction elements and 2D Fills. Independent (non-associative) Labels are also available.
