Annotation
Standards
Similar to the drawing standards that are used to create 2D
drawings, standards apply to the creation of annotations in a 3D
model. For example, some annotations are created to match the
ANSI-ASME standard.
Since it is possible to break a rule of the applied standard, two
annotation categories can be created:
• Semantic
• Non-Semantic
Semantic
This type of annotation always matches the rules, specifications,
and designations assigned by the active standard. Semantic
annotations are created using the Tolerance Advisor or Framed
(Basic) Dimensions icons. The Semantic Tolerancing Advisor
dialog box is shown in Figure 1–3.

Non-Semantic
Non-semantic annotations might not necessarily match the
active standard. Create this type of annotation when the active
standard does not adequately represent the design intent of the
model or the standards adopted by the designing company. Care
should be taken when creating a non-semantic annotation to
ensure that the end user of the annotation understands the
designer's intent. Non-semantic annotations are created using
the icons shown in Figure 1–4.
