1.7 Accessing Annotations
An annotation set is created to store all elements created in the
3D Tolerancing & Annotation app and is viewable outside this
application. Therefore, only the designers that are applying
annotations require a role for 3D T&A. Anyone that is reviewing
annotations and tolerances can do so using the 3D Annotation
Insight app or can access them through another app that
enables them to view part and product models.
If you are using the 3D Annotation Insight app to review
part-level annotations, you have to activate the part at the top of
the tree instead of at the 3D shape level that would need to be
activated for 3D Tolerancing & Annotation. An example of an
annotated model that has been activated at the part level in the
3D Annotation Insight app is shown in Figure 1–19.

Remember that you might have to toggle on the annotation set
before it can be viewed in the model. This is done by
right-clicking on the annotation set and selecting Show in 3D.
