Preferences for the display of annotations

This pane lists the default settings that EngView uses to display and position annotations.


Annotations Pane

Font Sets the annotation font, its size and whether it will respond to zooming.
Name The font and size of the annotation text. You can choose the font either from the drop-down list or by clicking Font.
Zoomable text (1up and layout drawings only) When this check box is selected, in the graphical area the annotation text changes in accordance with the applied zooming — zooming into the drawing makes the annotation text larger; zooming out of the drawing makes the annotation text smaller. When the check box is empty (the default state), the text is not affected by zooming and is displayed as it is set in Name and Size.

IMPORTANT: Zooming has meaning only on the screen. When the drawing is exported or printed out, the dimensions text will be displayed as set in Name and Size. To change the size for exports or printouts, set a scaling pattern.

 
Arrow Head Type The shape and appearance of annotations' arrow heads
Arrow type The type of the arrow of the annotation line. The list contains several preset types. When you select a type, it appears in the sample field.

Annotation line size The size, in pixels, of the arrow head. The value applies only to the way the selected annotation text line will be displayed on the screen in 1up, layout and/or print drawings.
