The Options Factory Annotations tab controls asset tag and descriptor text font, height, and placement in AutoCAD Factory. The changes you make affect only assets that are subsequently placed (dragged and dropped) from the Asset Browser into the AutoCAD layout. Your changes do not affect any of the asset tags and descriptors that appear as a result of syncing from Inventor.
If you wish to make changes to the asset tag and descriptor settings from synced assets, use the AutoCAD STYLE command to change the annotation font. To change the attribute text height, use the EATTEDIT command.
To access the Factory Annotations options:
- At the bottom of the
Application menu
, click
Options.
- In the Options dialog box, navigate to the Factory Annotations tab.
- On the Factory Annotations tab, select the desired font from the Font drop-down list.
- Set the text height in the Height text box. The default text height is 0.125 inches (3mm). Be sure to set the text height to an appropriate size to reflect the drawing/plot scale of the 2D layout.
- Next, determine the placement settings for the annotations. For the Descriptor annotation placement, choose Below (the default) or Center. The Below setting places the descriptor annotation away from the asset. Center places the annotation in the center of the asset. The graphic image in the dialog box reflects your Descriptor placement changes.
- For the Asset Tag annotation placement, choose Below or Center (the default). As with Descriptor placement, the Below setting places the asset tag annotation away from the asset or inserted model. Center places the annotation in the center of the asset or inserted model. The graphic image in the dialog box reflects your Asset Tag placement changes.
