38.4 Overview of viewport annotation options

Use the viewport annotation options to customize the legend, the title block, the state block, and the view triad for all plot modes. In addition, the viewport annotation options control the display of arrow and text annotations.

To set the viewport annotation options:

  1. From the main menu bar, select ViewportViewport Annotation Options.

    The Viewport Annotation Options dialog box appears. It contains the following tabs:

    • General: Control the display of all viewport annotations—those generated by ABAQUS/CAE and any arrow and text annotations that you created.

    • Triad: Control the appearance and position of the view triad.

    • Legend: Control the appearance and position of the legend and whether minimum and maximum values are shown.

    • Title Block: Control the appearance and position of the title block.

    • State Block: Control the appearance and position of the state block.

  2. Use the General tab to control the display of viewport annotations for all plots in the current viewport.

  3. Use the remaining tabs in the dialog box to customize the viewport annotations generated by ABAQUS/CAE. To create and customize arrow and text annotations, see Working with viewport arrow and text annotations, Section 4.4.
