Overview

An Annotation Style defines how the QS application manages the settings related to part annotation commands, including ballooning, tables, labeling, and title blocks.

Style configurations are defined at the company level (within the working environment) and are imported into each drawing in the same way as styles defined in the .dwt template file.

Changes made to a style within a drawing do not affect the original settings in the source environment. Similarly, modifications applied to the style within the working environment (prototype) do not automatically overwrite the local settings of existing drawings.

Purpose

Annotation Styles address the need to apply different ballooning and annotation criteria depending on specific requirements, even within the same drawing.

An Annotation Style consolidates all ballooning-related settings, including grouping attributes, calculation rules, and graphical representation of the balloon.

By selecting a QS annotation element, its associated Annotation Style can be verified in the CAD Properties panel.
