To Replace References of an Annotation Feature
1. Right-click an Annotation Feature in the Model Tree and click Edit Definition on the shortcut menu. The Annotation Feature dialog box opens.
2. Select the annotation reference that you want to replace from the References list, right-click, and click Replace on the shortcut menu.
 
* You cannot replace references that are added after the annotation is created. However, you can remove the unwanted references and add new references.
3. Select a new reference entity of a similar type.
The new entity replaces the old entity in the References list.
Depending on the type of reference entity replaced, the display of the Annotation Element is updated in the graphics window. For example, if the Annotation plane is replaced, then the new Annotation plane is used to display the Annotation Element with the default plane as the Right direction, that is the direction in which the text is read.
