| Layer | The name of the layer to use for the note.
If left empty, the annotation will not be on any layer. |
| Note Angle | The rotation angle, in degrees, of the inserted note.
The default is 0. Must be in the -360 to +360 range, if not the angle wraps around to be mapped back into range e.g. 365 = 5. |
| Text Justification | The text justification of the note text, with respect to the insertion point.
Center, Left, Right or None. The Text Justification affects the X Position value, as below. ![]() |
| Text Vertical Alignment | The text vertical alignment of the note text, with respect to the insertion point.
Bottom, Middle or Top. The Text Vertical Alignment affects the Y Position value, as below. ![]() |
| X Position | X position of the insertion point, relative to the origin of the drawing sheet (the lower-left corner of the sheet).
Enter value using document units. Default value is 0. The X Position is affected by the length of text in the note and the Text Justification property value. |
| Y Position | Y position of the insertion point, relative to the origin of the drawing sheet (the lower-left corner of the sheet).
Enter value using document units. Default value is 0. The Y Position is affected by the height of text in the note and the Text Vertical Alignment property value. |
