Blue A in icon when inserting standard drawing views.

Blue A in icon when inserting standard drawing views.

(OP)
Hi!

When I enter a model view into a drawing I can chose one or more standard views with the icon under the orientation section. Some of the icons show a small blue A. Which ones and how many icons contain the "A" varies. Does anybody know what it means and what effect it can have. Has it got anything to do with model items (annotations?)
Thanks for you help

RE: Blue A in icon when inserting standard drawing views.

"A view whose annotations are visible, but not activated, has a blue icon"
From "Detailing and Drawings > Annotations > Displaying Annotation Views"
In solidworks web help

But I am not sure what it really means.

Thanks,the solidworks help is very useful, but sometimes lacks to explain the practical use for features. Or my SW knowledge has gaps that don't let me understand the use...
I will read it a second time and hope it make sense to me.
In the meantime anybodies hints and explanations are very welcome.
