Inspection >> Annotation >> Export All

• Inspection >> Annotation >> Export All command exports all the annotations to a text file.
• You can edit the exported text file, then apply it and recalculate annotations for other data set.

Step

         Execute Inspection >> Annotation >> Export All command as follows:

1. Select Inspection >> Annotation >> Export All from the menu or click the corresponding icon from the Inspection toolbar.

2. An Export All Annotations dialog box is opened for a user to select a text file to which all the annotations are stored.

Result  

• One example of the exported annotation text file is shown below

• A user can choose mm, cm, m, in or ft as Unit. ReferenceDeviationType can be WholeDeviation or SectionDeviation. ReferenceDeviationName means the name of the deviation used as the annotation reference. MeasurePositionType tells whether the annotation is made about a point on the scan or design data. ScanDataPosition tells the position of the annotated point on the scan shell. DesignDataPosition tells the position of the point on the design model. Displacement tells the displacement between them and Distance the distance. AnnotationPosition tells the position of the annotation text box.

• If the deviations are to be recalculated, rapidform finds the vertex which is closest to the ScanDataPosition and recalculates DesignDataPosition, Displacement, Distance and so forth.กก
