Customizing viewport annotations

The viewport annotations generated by Abaqus/CAE consist of the legend, the title block, the state block, the 3D compass, and the view triad; they are provided to help you identify and interpret the contents of your plot. In addition, you can add customized text and arrow annotations to a viewport (for more information, see Managing viewports on the canvas). You can use the Viewport Annotation Options to toggle all viewport annotations on and off, and you can also customize the appearance of the annotations generated by Abaqus/CAE.

For information on the 3D compass, see The 3D compass. For information on the view triad, see Customizing the view triad.
