• Edge annotation:

For an edge annotation, the leader line used is the one defined in the SOLIDWORKS document options.

Simply enter the tolerance values, then select a vertex to snap the annotation to; it will be positioned immediately. You can reposition it after closing the tool ( Modify / Edit).


 


  • General note:

In the case of a general annotation, the leader line and supplementary geometries are drawn directly within the annotation.

This is an annotation that sets the general tolerances for undefined edges.

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

    • General annotation applicable to all edges.

Drawing of an attachment line and an inner corner containing the tolerance.

    • General annotation applicable to all outer edges.

Drawing of an attachment line and an inner angle containing the tolerance, as well as an outer angle hooked onto the arrow of the attachment line.

    • 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 hooked onto the arrow of the attachment line.

    • Exception to the general guidelines for edges.

If, as part of a general indication, it is necessary to make it clear that another edge condition is required elsewhere in the drawing, an additional indication must appear in brackets.
