Update Annotation Formats

When this option is checked it is possible to update auto labels and presentation text according to the diagrams settings or master settings. There are four different scenarios:

1. If a master was selected then labels and text rule is taken from the master instance.

2. When the master is not selected then the system will check if the shape that should be updated inherited its setting from the master or the default.

3. If settings were derived from the master and this master is not selected then some shape settings will not be updated.

4. If settings were derived from the diagram’s default settings then the system will update them.

   Note:
   Title blocks and multi-labels require the master to be selected because there is no setting for this in Diagrams Options.

   Note:
   If an auto-label is deleted from a shape after the update the label might not be added. The reason for this is that the system remembers that this label was previously deleted. To add an auto-label use the option Ignore stencil settings or select the correct master.

   Note:
   It is possible to preserve the position of a particular auto-label shape during the update. The position will not be modified if the Keep Position function in the Right- Click contextual menu of this auto-label shape is checked.
