Callout Tool, Creating a New Note Database - You can create your own note
database for the Callout.

Annotation - Part 22

keynote legend allows you to group all the roof notes together, all the wall
notes together, or set up ConDoc notes.

Annotation - Part 21

Edit Keynote Legend - The keynote legend can be edited from the Object Info
palette, you can format the text on the Keynote Legend with the Object Info
palette.

Annotation - Part 20

Callout Tool, Place as Keynote - The Callout tool is faster if you get the text
from a note database.

Annotation - Part 19

Callout Tool With Text From a Database - The Callout tool is faster if you get
the text from a note database.

Annotation - Part 18

Callout Tool - The Callout tool makes it fast and easy to add notes to your
drawings.

Annotation - Part 17

Elevation Benchmark - The elevation benchmark can be used to place elevation
heights on drawings.

Annotation - Part 16

Section-Elevation Marker - The Section-Elevation marker is used to place the
section or elevation line on your plans.

Annotation - Part 15

Reference Marker - The Reference Marker is used to place a detail reference,
section reference or an elevation reference. Like the Drawing label the tool is
scale-aware so regardless what the layer scale is the object always appears the
same size.

Annotation - Part 14

Drawing Label - The drawing label tool is used to place labels on the drawing.
They can be used in 2D drawings, and they can use used in Viewports.

Annotation - Part 13

Creating Your Own Dimension Standard - Creating your own dimension standard
allows you set up a dimension standard that suits your company. You might like
longer lines, heavier lines and so on.

Annotation - Part 12

Changing the Dimension Standard - VectorWorks comes with several built in
standards to choose from. To change the dimension standard (the look and feel of
the dimension).

Annotation - Part 11

Moving Dimension Lines - Dimensions can be modified easily, to move the
position of a dimension line, to change its location in relation to the drawing,
and to change the dimension text relative to the dimension lines.

Annotation - Part 10

Angular Dimensions - Dimensions for angles.

Annotation - Part 9

Circular Dimensions - Dimensions for circles and arcs.

Annotation - Part 8

Unconstrained Dimensions - Dimensions at any angle.

Annotation - Part 7

Annotation - Part 6

Interactive Dimensions - Interactive dimensions are associated to the objects
you dimension and if you change the dimension, the object will update or move.

Annotation - Part 2

Editing text - The easiest way to edit text is use the 2D selection tool.

Annotation - Part 5

Associative Dimensions - Associative dimensions are associated to the objects
you dimension. When you move the objects, the dimensions update.

Annotation - Part 4

Find/Replace Text - This command can be used to look for a word or a phrase in
your file and replace it with another word or phrase. It’s really useful if
