To Update Annotation

You can update all existing annotations using that annotation template to apply those changes. The text in existing annotations does not update automatically.

To update annotation based on a specific template

1. Click Annotate tabMap Annotation panelUpdate Annotation. Find
2. In the Annotation Update dialog box, select an annotation template , and click OK.
   Tip:

   You can select more than one template at a time.

3. On the command line, choose Retain or Discard.
   • Retain — Regenerates all annotation that uses the selected template, maintaining any advanced settings from the original annotation. Text you added or removed in the annotation template is changed in the existing annotations, and any modifications you made to specific annotations remain.

     For example, if you changed the insert point or rotation in the Insert Annotation dialog box when you created the annotations, the Retain option regenerates them using those overrides.

   • Discard — Regenerates all annotation that uses the selected template, using the default values in the template. Text you added or removed in the annotation template is changed in the existing annotations, but any overrides are lost.

     For example, if you changed the insert point or rotation when you created the annotations, the Discard option regenerates the annotation using the annotation template values for these settings, instead of your overrides.

4. Press Enter.
