Annotating Drawings
In this chapter, you learn about annotating drawings using dimensions, center marks,
centerlines, hole tables and hole notes, parts lists and tables, and leader text.
Annotation Tools
Drawing annotations provide additional information to drawing views to
complete documentation of a component. In Autodesk
®
Inventor
™
, styles define
annotations, according to the active drawing standard. Each standard has a
default set of available styles, which can be customized as needed.
NOTE Legacy documents usually had styles defined in a template. When using style
libraries, import styles as needed from template-based documents to the library.
Then purge all unused styles to avoid making the file size larger. You cannot purge
styles that are in use.
The following are some of the tools on the Drawing Annotation toolbar:
