Tutorial: Using Annotations

This tutorial shows you how to use some of the tools that were discussed in this chapter. It does

not cover every feature, so you should explore a little on your own and not necessarily follow the

instructions exactly. Start here:

1. From the CD-ROM, open the file named Chapter 22 – Tutorial.slddrw. This is
   a drawing file with views of the part from Chapter 21, but it does not contain dimensions
   or annotations.


2. Click the Center Mark tool on the Annotations toolbar. (If the button is not there,
   then choose Tools ➪ Customize ➪ Commands to place it on the toolbar, along with the
   Centerline tool.) Click one of the holes in the pattern of three, and click the Propagate
   symbol to propagate the center marks to all three holes in the pattern. The view should
   look like Figure 22.16 when you are done.
