Link Annotation to Line/Point

Link Pattern Annotations to specific Pattern Outlines/points or Internal Lines/points to maintain their relative position when patterns are modified.

1. Select the Edit Annotation tool from the 2D toolbar.
    
2. Right-click on the annotation in the 2D window, and select Link to.
    
3. Click on the Pattern Outline or Internal Line to be linked.
   → The annotation anchors to the line, and a dashed connection line appears.

📝 Note: 

• Automatic Movement: Linked annotations automatically follow the movement and transformation of their parent line.
• Connection Visibility: The dashed link indicator is only visible when the annotation is selected or when the Annotation tool is active.
