There are four types of annotations

Dimensions
Angular dimensions
Text
North Arrow

Annotation visibility may be toggled on and off
Dimensions are designed to be read from the bottom or right side of a printed page
The annotation text stays the same size (so it is readable), if the text will not fit between the dimension lines it is not shown. If text annotations overlap they are not shown.
