ViewportAnnotationOptions object

The ViewportAnnotationOptions object stores settings that control how annotations are rendered in a particular viewport. ViewportAnnotationOptions objects are accessed in one of two ways:

  • The default viewport annotations. These settings are used as defaults when other viewportAnnotationOptions members are created and can be set to customize user preferences.

  • The viewport annotations associated with a particular viewport.

The ViewportAnnotationOptions object has no constructor; Abaqus creates the defaultViewportAnnotationOptions member when a session is started. When a new viewport is created, the settings are copied from the current viewport.
