Annotation Preferences

These preferences affect annotations created after settings are applied. Pre-existing annotations and opened .vpb files are not affected by these preference settings. The Annotation preference settings DO affect annotation XML files created before VRED 2018.2 that do not contain individual annotation properties.

In the Menu Bar, click Edit > Preferences, then on the left side of the dialog box, select Interaction > Annotation. After making any changes, press Apply and Save to save them.

Properties

  • Use Node Visibility - Uses the visible state of the node the annotation is associated with. If the node is invisible, so is the annotation.

  • Font Color - Determines the color of the text in the annotation.

  • Line Color - Determines the color of the line and box of the annotation.

  • Background Color - Determines the color inside the box of the annotation.

  • Background Transparency - Determines the transparency of the background color.

Size

  • Size (option) - Adjusts the size of the entire annotation.

  • Dynamic Scaling - Varies the size of labels, based on their depth within the viewport; for example, the label of an object that appears closer in the viewport has a bigger label than an object farther back. There are three scaling options:

    • Near - Labels are smaller; appropriate when working close to the screen.

    • Far - Labels are larger; appropriate when working further away from the computer screen, for example when sharing a presentation with others.

    • Off - Labels are larger and all the same size.
