Annotation Elements can be automatically propagated into data sharing features. These include Copy Geometry, Publish Geometry, Shrinkwrap, Merge, and Inheritance features.

Geometry entity parameters are also propagated to data sharing features. You can automatically propagate annotation planes referenced by Annotation Elements that are valid for propagation. An annotation plane is a datum plane that defines the orientation of an annotation item with respect to a 3D model.

Propagated annotations can be defined as dependent or independent of referenced parts. If Annotation Elements are dependent on referenced parts, the elements in the data shared feature are read-only. These types of Annotation Elements must be redefined as independent in order to be modified.
