Annotation Elements and stacked 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.

An annotation plane is a datum plane that defines the orientation of an annotation item with respect to a 3D model. You can automatically propagate annotation planes that are referenced by Annotation Elements if the Annotation Elements are valid for propagation.

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