Within a single annotation layer, objects are displayed in the order they are drawn with later object being displayed on top of older objects.

The attributes define color, line thickness, fill properties, associated images, etc. The specific attributes depend on the type of object. The vertical position and sizes of the object are similarly specified in the anchoring attribute of the object.Īll annotation objects also have attributes. Finally, specify that the center of the object is 100 pixels to the right of the center of the screen. Alternatively, specify that the right edge of the frame should be 10% of screen width from the right edge. If positioning the center of the object, the object position is defined relative to the horizontal center of the screen.įor example, the left side of the frame may be specified as 100 pixels from the left edge of the screen. If positioning the right edge, the object position is defined relative to the right edge of the screen. If positioning the left edge, the object position is defined relative to the left edge of the screen. The horizontal position can be set from the left edge, the right edge or the center of the object. The x-location, y-location, x-size and y-size are all defined independently as either a pixel value or percentage of the screen. This anchoring defines both the size and position of the object. The frame anchors the annotation object on the screen. Interact with the object by interacting with its frame and specifying its attributes or properties (see the section on selection below). This frame bounds the region of the screen where the object will appear with the modeling data. If, through a quick mouse drag, resizing a annotation causes the cursor to land outside the window, the annotation will be redrawn to take up all the window space in that direction. Annotations can't be resized or moved even partially outside of the borders of the window. When creating a annotation, if the frame is too big for the window, it will be resized appropriately. (Points and lines defining degenerate frames are not allowed.) The display will show the frame while dragging with the mouse. Initially define this frame when creating the annotation object by clicking at any point on the screen and dragging a rectangle with the mouse (left button still down). The extents of annotation objects defined by a frame. If multiple layers exist, any newly created annotation object will be placed in the "current" layer. Layers are differentiated by their icons in the Project Explorer: for screen space layers or for world space layers. Create additional layers by right-clicking on the " Annotation Data" item and selecting Create Screen Space Layer or Create World Space Layer. When the first annotation object created, the program will ask which type of layer (screen or world space) to create and add the object to. These include North arrows, images, and scale bars. Some types of annotations can only be created in screen space layers.

This is useful for titles, legends such as north arrows and scale bars, and logos. Objects associated with screen coordinates do not move on the screen with the underlying data. This is useful to identify specific locations in the model such as pier locations. Objects referenced to world coordinates will change size and position on the screen with the underlying data. Note that there is a limit of 100 annotation objects allowed in a single project.Īll annotation layers either contain objects referenced to world or screen coordinates. These tools (annotation objects)are accessed through the Annotations module and include: The GMS and SMS applications contain tools to annotate the data in an application for presentations, animations and screen shots. The annotations application is included in all paid editions of GMS and SMS. 12 Viewing Annotations At Specific Time IntervalsĪnnotations can be added to a project to provide notes and clarification.
