Publishing Annotations

Annotations place text, SOLIDWORKS property values, watermarks, or QR codes on exported drawing sheets and PDFs. The selected profile stores the annotation collection.

Select PDMPublisher > Annotations to edit the active Publish profile, or use the command arrow to open a named profile. Use the focused pages beneath Publishing Annotations in the TOC:

Category	Pages
Content	Add Annotation, Annotation Text, and SQL Query Placeholders
Appearance	Text Formatting, Watermark, and Active
Placement	Position and Sheets
Settings transfer	Import and Export Annotations

Note

Annotation controls are shared with the PDM task, but the SOLIDWORKS add-in obtains properties from the active document and saves annotations in the selected Publish profile.
