Annotation callout control on hide & show the TEXT not just the PIN

[Anonymous]

Dear F360 Devs/Users, how can I make an annotation callout text appear & dissapear as part of an animation (the text, not just the pin)? It's clear how to control hide-show of the pin, but how can I make the text appear at a certain moment (without requiring the user to click the pin!), as text label or a texst instruction for example during, an animation.

Hey @Anonymous,

Thanks for reaching out to us here! We don't currently have an override feature to "always maximize" or "always minimize" the callouts, but that has been something that has been on our radar so it's great to hear from a customer that this would be useful to you. 

Would you be open to having a quick meeting sometime this week or next? I'd love to get some more details from you about how you'd like this to work, as well as see some samples of your projects. Let me know if there are some good times for you to chat and I'll set something up.

Best,

Timera

A year later, (almost)
i am missing the same function. 

This is a +1 then.

Thanks for the note @Anonymous

We'll follow up with any questions - this enhancement may be a while out, but it's on our radar.

Best,

Scott

Likewise this would be useful for us also.

I totally agree, this is a useless function unless the text is visible. I don't want to see a pin in my animation, I wish to see a text callout (a bit like Inventor publisher used to do).

2 years later and the small function is missing!

My customers need a publisher ( Inventor Publisher is dead!), Fusion360 is a perfect tool for him.

Also is the function to change the annotation color with a better high lighting, missing too!

The Callouts would be most useful for animations showing product assembly... if they auto expanded, and were at all legible.

Currently when sharing and embedding with a360 viewer, the contrast between text and items behind is so little that you can't read  the text even if you know what it says.

This coupled with allowing constraints to be animated would make the F360 animation truely more useful.

I too am looking for the same thing.. Please help..

Yes this would be a most welcome feature.

It's still the same, there is a pin in the video, but I'm sure that 99% of audience just don't know they should click on it. Text should just appear when the video creator want to and disappear when the creator want to.

Is there any plan for it??
