Annotation To Drafting

Annotation To Drafting

Annotation To Drafting

(OP)
Hi All,

I am creating a quick layout for some machines to be placed on our shop floor, it is nothing fancy. I am creating the machine footprints in sketcher.

I am identifying the machines by creating an annotation inside the box that represents each machine. Is there a way that I can carry this text directly into drafting?

I am creating the text by Insert >annotation >text >text

I apologize if this is a very simple question and thank you in advance.

Thanks for the quick response solid7.

It appeared you were on a bit of a "holiday" for sometime, glad to see you are back.

RE: Annotation To Drafting

I noticed when you do this, it will not let me "modify links" on the view, so that I can only show certain part bodies.  

Is there anyway to do this when doing a view from 3D?

RE: Annotation To Drafting


These "certain part bodies" - are they coming from an assembly, or a multi-body solid?

multi-body solid.   

RE: Annotation To Drafting


My understanding of "modify links" is limited to its use in conjunction with scenes.  I have not heard of it being used to filter out part bodies.

RE: Annotation To Drafting

We use it all the time (partly because of having models that have multiple bodies in one catpart).  

When placing a view in drafting (except for a 'view from 3D') you can select the bodies and/or geometric sets to display in that view.  Also can select the axis system to use.  

If needed, after a view is placed we can modify its links to add/remove specific part bodies to that view.  Comes in very handy for drafting.  

OK, thanks anyway.  Its not a huge deal, just thought if anyone would know you would be the one.
