NOTE This procedure is for drawing objects only. To label geospatial features, see
Adding Labels to Features (page 1091).
To update annotation based on a specific template
1 Click Annotate tab ➤ Map Annotation panel ➤ Update Annotation.
2 In the Annotation Update dialog box (page 1571), select an annotation
template
(page 2055), and click OK.
TIP You can select more than one template at a time.
3 On the command line, choose Retain or Discard.
■ Retain — Regenerates all annotation that uses the selected template,
maintaining any advanced settings from the original annotation. Text
you added or removed in the annotation template is changed in the
existing annotations, and any modifications you made to specific
annotations remain.
For example, if you changed the insert point or rotation in the
Insert
Annotation dialog box
(page 1574) when you created the annotations,
the Retain option regenerates them using those overrides.
■ Discard — Regenerates all annotation that uses the selected template,
using the default values in the template. Text you added or removed
in the annotation template is changed in the existing annotations,
but any overrides are lost.
For example, if you changed the insert point or rotation when you
created the annotations, the Discard option regenerates the annotation
using the annotation template values for these settings, instead of
your overrides.
4 Press Enter.
