Solidworks: Retrieving weld annotations created in a part from a drawing view

Hello,
I created solder annotations in the 3D on the one hand using the " solder seam" function.
In total there are 360 weld seams.
I want to be able to retrieve these annotations on drawing views.
I know how to do this using the " import objects from the template " function. The problem is that all 360 annotations are displayed.
Is there a way to automatically display only the annotations related to the weld seams visible on a drawing view (as is possible with the dimensions imported from the model)?
Or to use the " weld symbol" function, to select a weld bead on a drawing view and automatically retrieve the annotation entered in the 3D?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You will need to tame the annotation views:

Hello and welcome;

In the options available for importing objects from the model, it is possible to choose " only " the selected function and to import them " only " in a selected view...

A second method is to import everything (via the objects of the model) and then hide them all to re-show only the desired annotations.

The " F5 " Shortcuts enable selection filters:
image
=> Selection of weld symbols and annotations
CTRL+A on sheet => right-click => Hide

Then in " View " / " Hide-Show " / => Annotation

And click on the annotations to show.

Oh my, the ... I never think about that stuff, but it's so not user-friendly  . :upside_down_face: :melting_face:
