About Annotation

You can annotate your drawings with the tools available in AutoCAD MEP 2025 toolset. Annotation can be categorized as follows:

  • Object labels, general text, and dimensions
  • Annotation symbols
  • Tags and schedules
  • View and detail marks

Labels and documentation symbols are the primary annotation types for drawings. To display object information such as system name, size, and dimensions, use labels. To add information such as leaders, break marks, title marks, and revision clouds, use annotation symbols from the symbol libraries in DesignCenter.

Tags are used to mark equipment for scheduling. When a schedule is added to a drawing, it can automatically display property set data for tagged parts. If you modify tagged equipment, you can automatically update the schedule to reflect the changes.

Section, elevation, and detail views can display discrete parts of a building plan. You can generate these views automatically from the system model. If you modify the system model in its construct drawing, you can automatically update detail, section, or elevation views to reflect the changes.
