When you refresh the annotations, you can choose whether to update the string values only or whether to update all properties of the annotation (for example, its position and layer location).
To refresh annotation based on a specific template
You can select more than one template at a time.
For example, if you use the expression .AREA as the value of the annotation text, the annotation displays the area of the circle. If you change the diameter of the circle, and refresh the annotation with the Strings Only option, the text changes to reflect the new area of the circle.
For example, if you use the expression .CENTER to specify the insertion point of the text, the annotation is displayed in the center of the circle. If you resize and move the circle, the Strings Only option changes the text to reflect the new size, but does not change the position of the text. The annotation text is longer centered in the circle. The Full Annotation option updates the text to reflect the new size and moves the annotation to the center of the relocated, resized circle.
