Stacking Annotations hotkey ?

Stacking Annotations hotkey ?

Stacking Annotations hotkey ?

(OP)
When placing/ dragging annotations on drawings, ( NX7.5.x) annotations will "stack" when dragged on top of an existing annotation. Is there a hotkey to activate the stacking mode ? - It takes some fiddling around to make NX activate the stacking mode and a hotkey would simplify the action. ( I.e : press "???" when dragging the annotation to activate the stacking mode.)

Regards,
Tomas

Forgot to mention that the annotation in question is ID symbols.

Thanks Jerry, I think i expressed myself a bit unclear, I want to stack ID symbols but it takes a lot of dragging around before NX understands that it is what i want. I want a hotkey to make NX "activate stacking mode".

I also have this issue, even when NX does "Stack" the symbols, it doesn't seem to justify them correctly. Each additional symbol appears below and to the left instead of directly below the previous symbol. (I am on NX6)
