To Set Up Annotation Templates

In an annotation template, you define the information to display in the annotation and the layout of that information.

To set up annotation

  1. Define an annotation template.
  2. Attach annotation to objects.
  3. If you BIND an XREFed drawing containing annotation templates, remove the prefix from the XREFed annotation template block names to make them available in the current drawing.

To make an XREFed drawing with annotation templates available in the current drawing

  1. Using the RENAME command, select Blocks from the Named Objects list.
  2. Select the annotation template from the list of blocks in the Items list.

    You will find blocks with names like xrefdwgname$0$ACMAP_ANN_TEMPLATE_templatename.

  3. Remove xrefdwgname$0$ from the name of each template you want.
