Annotator configuration Training

[Tim Cole]

Is there anybody who offers configuration and customization training on Annotator.

Tim...if you're trying to customize Annotation on v5.1, you cannot (unless you create a macro). If your trying to customize on v6.0, the only item you can customize is dimension standards, but currently a bug in the software won't let you do this. What I do is create a macro, using recorder, and set all the variables I want set, Line type/Color/text size and so on. I replay this macro when I start Annotation. Pete

Site customization of Annotation V6.0, though time consuming, is something you can do. The only serious bugs I've encountered are mitigated with some simple work-arounds. Omissions in the code prevent customization of certain settings, such as the CUTAWAY label. Bugs fixes and enhancements in version 6.1 should correct the worst of the configuration glitches. The following list highlights areas customized by my site: 1. Company Drawing Formats 2. Dimension Standards 3. Custom Fonts and Text Settings 4. Standard Prefixes, Postfixes, etc. 5. Custom symbols 6. View standards (labels, section lines, etc.) 7. Line type settings (Center & symmetry lines) 8. Plotters and plot transformations 9. ToolBox macros Site customization of Annotation will make a big difference to your productivity and enjoyment of the tool. Good luck!
