Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-31000A APPENDIX B B.7.6 Annotation Orientation. An annotation orientation refers to the plane or the parallel plane in which the annotation lies, the viewing direction and the right direction or text rotation. One should maintain text orientation in a view that provides consistency for viewing. Figure 12 show an example of an annotation orientation plane. Figure 12. Annotation Orientation Plane. The orientation of the annotation plane should be maintained relative to the model geometry as the model is manipulated in 3D to comply with ASME Y14.41 section 5.2.3.
The following annotation data types should be placed on an appropriate orientation plane: MBD0_Notices - Flat to screen by screen location MBD1_Site_Map – Appropriate orientation plane MBD2_Titles – Flat to screen by screen location MBD3_Properties - Appropriate orientation plane MBD4_General_Notes - Flat to screen by screen location MBD5_Set_Datums - Appropriate orientation plane MBD6_Assembly - Appropriate orientation plane MBD7_Machining - Appropriate orientation plane MBD8_Weld - Appropriate orientation plane Model notes are text strings that can be attached to objects or displayed in a fixed location flat to screen.
One can attach any number of notes to any object in the model to comply with ASME Y14.41, section 3.4.2. B.7.7 Model Notes. One can include model notes in an annotation feature. This way, one can define a re-useable library of specific notes, and then place them as annotations in various models, as appropriate. When inserting notes, one has a series of options to set up the note properties, such as attachment type and location, leader style, and text position. 45
