  • Above the view: All serial numbers are arranged on a horizontal line above the view, and the horizontal line coincides with the view box when the view is selected. Serial number leads should not cross each other, and serial number spacing should be equal.
  • The bottom/left/right side of the view is similar to the top.
  • Square/circle around the view: Serial numbers are distributed around the view in a square/circle shape.
• Ignore multiple instances: Controls whether parts with multiple identical instances are labeled repeatedly
  • Check (default) : Do not duplicate annotation.
  • Unchecked: Repeat annotation for each instance.
• Annotate association view: Control whether to annotate in association view when parts in the selected view are not displayed (such as hidden edges are not displayed, and are blocked).
