INTRODUCTION:
AnnotationsPro is a SolidWorks macro that provides a consistent method for 
correcting the display of annotations in SolidWorks documents.  When the macro 
is launched, the user is presented with a list of options that can be run on 
the current SolidWorks document.  Changes will not be completed in the document
until the user clicks on 'Process'.  Here is a list of what can be updated.

  * Correct note fonts.
      Will traverse all annotations (notes) in a SolidWorks document and ensure
      the 'Use document font' setting is enabled.
  * Highlight view and note titles.
      Will traverse all annotations (notes) in a SolidWorks document and ensure
      that specified titles ( SECTION, VIEW, DETAIL, NOTES) are highlighted by
      increasing the standard font size by 50% and underlining the annotation.
  * Correct Dimension fonts.
      Will traverse all dimensions in a SolidWorks document and ensure the 'Use 
      document font' setting is enabled for dimensions and tolerances.
  * Correct BOM ballons sizes.
      Will traverse all BOM balloons (annotation with circular border) in a 
      SolidWorks document and ensure the 'Use document font' setting is enabled
      and ensure the annotation's balloon size matches the balloon setting in 
      the document.
  * Correct Revision triangle size.
      Will traverse all revision triangles (annotation with triangular border) 
      in a SolidWorks document and ensure the 'Use document font' setting is 
      enabled and ensure the triangle size is one less than the balloon setting
      in the document.
  * Correct Geometric Tolerance fonts.
      Will traverse all geometric tolerance in a SolidWorks document and ensure 
      the 'Use document font' setting is enabled.
  * Correct weld symbol note fonts.
      Will traverse all weld symbols in a SolidWorks document and ensure the 
      'Use document font' setting is enabled.
  * Correct weld symbol note padding.
      Will traverse all weld symbols in a SolidWorks document and remove all 
      padded spaces from annotations in the weld symbol.  For consistent look
      of weld symbols, the macro will ensure the weld length has a minumum of
      4 characters by padding the annotation with spaces.
  * Correct surface finish symbol fonts.
      Will traverse all surface finish symbols in a SolidWorks document and 
      ensure the 'Use document font' setting is enabled.
