From the Annotate tab, use the annotating tools on the Symbol panel to add
the feature control frame, tolerance, surface texture, and welding symbol as
shown in the previous image.
Change the scale factor in the model scale list, and then rescale all the symbols
and dimensions to view the new size.
Add a custom standard in the AM:Standards tab of the Options dialog box.
Modify some of the elements such as the color of the arrow for welding
symbols. You can also save the current settings to a default template, a DWT
file, for reuse.
