Better Management of Stacked Annotations When Working with Annotation Features

The configuration option remove_stacked_non_graphical_ae, makes it easier to manage stacked annotations when working with annotation elements, owned by annotation features.

If you set the configuration option to yes, removing the parent annotation of a stacked annotation, in this example, removal of a dimension, triggers the removal of all the child annotations of the same stack. The result inside the Annotation feature is as follows:

If you set the configuration option to no, removing the parent annotation, in this example removal of the dimension, removes only the parent annotation. All the child annotations are converted to nongraphical annotations. The result inside the Annotation feature is as follows:

Tips:	If you set remove_stacked_non_graphical_ae to yes and references or parameters are added to a child annotation which is a member of the stacked annotations, the following occurs: • The child annotation is not removed when the parent annotation is removed. • The child annotation is converted to a nongraphical annotation, as it is when the configuration option remove_stacked_non_graphical_ae is set to no.
Limitations:	No known limitations.
Does this replace existing functionality?	No.
