Thanks Terry,

AI and PDF are similar enough that they should be able to use the same mechanism between them.

The thing that's most problematic is text, PDF/AI does not allow a full 4x4 matrix transform on text, so for a perspective view the regular postscript type text entity isn't usable for perspective text, it has to be rendered some other way.

Yup, this is the next area of work. This will probably be going in the Options dialog where you will be able to create some presets of annotation properties and then in each annotation command there will be a Preset: dropdown where you can choose which one you want to use for that one you're making.

Maybe one preset named "Default" will get stored in your moi.ini file so it's there for all new projects and other presets will be stored in .3dm files.

I'll know more once I dig into it some.
