Annotation(s) are objects that can be placed on a design sheet without impacting the design's functional or diagnostic characteristics. Annotations are non-functional objects used exclusively for "marking up" the design.
When to Use Annotations
Here are several common uses of annotations:
Design titles and labels
Legends / configuration control blocks
Boxes behind and around several objects to indicate a group
Pictures behind the drawing on a design sheet
