Question

When should we annotate cones?

Answer 1

Answer:

3D annotations are dimensions, tolerances, notes, text or symbols displayed in 3D according to the same type of 2D annotations defined by standards (ISO, ASME, ANSI, JIS, DIN...).

A 3D annotation is always linked to a User Surface or a Group of Surfaces.

A 3D annotation is displayed in 3D following the orientation of a particular plane called View/Annotation Plane.

Two types of 3D annotation are available: Semantic 3D Annotation and Non-semantic 3D Annotation.

When a 3D annotation is created, it is displayed in the current View/Annotation Plane:

If no View/Annotation Plane exists in the current Tolerancing Set, a default View/Annotation Plane is created.

When the current View/Annotation Plane is not convenient to create and display the annotation, a warning message is displayed.

In this case you have to select or create an adequate View/Annotation Plane before.

See View/Annotation Planes.
