How do I add Names of Parts of an Exploded Assembly in Animation view

[Anonymous]

I am trying to make a video showing disassembly and assembly of parts  of a pump.

At the point where I have all the parts exploded, I want to show the name of each of the parts. How do I do this? 

I have the names on the browser but wonder whether I can make them point and show next to the actual part.

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! Unfortunately, this is a current limitation of the Annotation function (in the Animation workspace). While the pin created with an Annotation is shown in the animation, the text associated with it does not. I would recommend posting on the Fusion 360 Ideastation if you have any input into how this feature should work in Fusion.

One workaround that you could use might be to create new components with text in sketches and then show them in the assembly. Components must be used for this because they are the only design elements shown in the browser in the Animation workspace. I have shown how to use this workaround technique in the screencast below - please let me know if you have any questions!
