• Edge annotation :

In the case of an edge annotation, the attachment line used is the one defined in the SOLIDWORKS document options.

Simply enter the tolerance values and select a vertex to hang the annotation which will be positioned immediately. Repositioning can be done once the tool is closed (Modification / Editing).


 


  • General Annotation:

In the case of a general annotation, the tie line and the complementary geometries are drawn directly in the annotation.

This is an annotation that sets general tolerances on undefined edges.

The annotation is placed where the cursor is placed and will never be attached to a vertex.

    • General annotation applicable to all edges.

Drawing of an attachment line and an interior angle containing the tolerance.

    • General annotation applicable to all external edges.

Drawing of a tie line and an inner corner containing the tolerance as well as an outer corner attached to the tie line arrow.

    • General annotation applicable to all interior edges.

Drawing of an attachment line and an inner corner containing the tolerance as well as an inner corner attached to the arrow of the attachment line.

    • Exception to the general edge indications.

If, as part of a general indication, it is necessary to point out that another edge condition is required elsewhere in the drawing, an additional indication shall be given in brackets.
