This command labels the arc data along the arc between the endpoints of the arc. The curve information is also displayed. The format for the label is set in the dialog shown here. For each arc data value, you can specify the label, the row number, and the side of the arc it will appear on. If a row number is left blank, then that value is not labeled. There is a choice of labeling inside or outside of the arc. Annotation is drawn as a block. The advantage of this is that the characters, rather than being individual entities, are plotted as a single entity that can be moved and edited as a unit. You would need to explode the “blocked” text in order to edit the text. A toggle button determines whether the user wants to flip the text on arcs that open to the top of the drawing.
