Deleting Default Attachment Lines from a Note - SolidWorks

Hello

I have to enter a lot of notes with different related properties.

By default, notes have an attachment line that I have to remove every time.

How do I set SlidWorks so that a note is unattached by default?

I couldn't find anything in the Options on this or in the previous questions.

Thank you

If these are recurring notes, you can make a template out of them and have it in the design library. I think a simple Ctrl+ Drag the note into the library is enough.

Normally by default with auto attachment line, it does not attach unless you click on an edge or face.

You can manage your note attachment type in your document template directly.

In Tools, Options, and then Document Properties.

@Benoit.LF -  the grades are not of the same nature

 

@opiep27 - When there is a certain density of entities, these lines of attachment are painful; It's better to turn them off. But with each note, it's a little time wasted each time.

 

@flegendre - Yes, I know. But what I wanted to know is how to make notes that by default have NO attachment lines and conversely, put them if necessary.

 

Not sure if there is a solution, I wait a little to close the question

Hello

 

Someone is asking for the annotation attachment line to be centered by default here:

https://forum.solidworks.com/message/187577

 

The best answer is "make a request for improvement" (= ER).

 

Even if it's not exactly the same problem, it looks pretty much like it:

The default behavior of annotation attachment lines is not fully configurable...

So I don't think it's possible!

There are 3 requests for improvements on the SolidWorks site, concerning the default behavior of annotation attachment lines. See attached image.

 

So it confirms my idea that it's not totally customizable!

Hello

While waiting for enhancement requests, you can select all annotations by activating the note selection filter and thus remove the attachment in one go.

Kind regards
