Solidworks | Drawing | Style annotation reference element

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

In a drawing, I want to define a plane parallel to that of the drawing as the reference plane, like this:

However, with the Annotation > Reference Element tool, I can't get a point at the end of the line that connects my A frame to my plane, I can only get an arrow.

I get this: https://lut.im/PTnXnr7WPW/ehgrM6grYL7uk6L0.PNG

Is it possible to have a dot as "end of the line" rather than an "upside-down arrow" ?

 

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello

I think the annotation you want to add is a note and not a reference item.

On the model, it is a note and not a reference element that is placed. There are no options in SW to put a dot on the attachment line of reference elements.

Use a note positioned on the face and a square outline.

After selecting your reference element, have you tried right-clicking on the "handle" at the "arrow"?

Right-click on the end of the arrow and it should show you a menu to choose the shape you want

stefbeno, MaD, your solutions do not work with Soliworks 2017 for a "Reference Element" type annotation

 

Yves.T, I don't know how to frame a classic annotation like "text". Could you tell me, please?

Hello, click on the attachment line and in the proper manager, at the bottom you have outline, check the box and choose the desired shape. 

Kind regards.

Hello

In the notes, in the outline options, choose square, and then to change the size, select User-defined.

Otherwise basic for a reference element (so that it follows if there are ever others added) SW offers by default an arrow to deport (see attached image).
