In KOMPAS-3D, you can create the following types of marks:
•Mark/reference designation without leader,
•mark/reference designation with leader,
•mark/reference designation on line.
For precise cursor positioning and parameter setting during construction, you can use Snaps and geometrical calculator.
Mark/reference designation without a leader
To create a mark/reference designation without leader line, do the following actions.
1.Invoke the Mark/reference designation without leader line 
command.
In the graphic area, a phantom of a bounding rectangle of designation will appear.
2.Set the position of mark/reference designation.
3.If it is required to rotate designation, enter the value of rotation angle into the Angle field on the Parameter Panel.
4.Enter the text of mark/reference designation. To that end, click in the Text field on the Parameter Panel or in a text box on the phantom of designation, or press any of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. The Add Text subprocess will be started. In the graphic region, a table for input of designation text will appear. Details...

The context menu of the Text field contains all the marks created in the document. To create a mark with already existing text designation, select it from this menu. With the Automatic numbering option enabled (see below), a running number will be assigned to it. |
5.To automate assignment of free numbers to elements during input of text, enable the Automatic numberingoption. Details...
6.If necessary, enter the text into the Comments field. In this field, you can enter any information, for example, on the element for which a mark/reference designation is created. The comment in the drawing is not displayed.

command.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Set a point to which the first branch of the leader line points.
After indication of this point, a designation phantom will appear in the graphic area.

Examples of mark/reference designation with the leader line
Mark/reference designation on line
To create a mark/reference designation on the line, do the following actions.
1.Run the Mark/reference designation on the line 
command.
After invoking the command, the cursor will take the shape of a square "trap".
|
The size of the cursor’s trap can be changed in the dialog for setting up the cursor. |
2.Indicate the object to place a mark (the outline of a part, the leader line of a dimension, etc.). Its name will appear in the Object field on the Parameter Panel. In the graphic region, a designation phantom will appear.
3.Enter the text of mark/reference designation. To that end, click in the Text field on the Parameter Panel, or press any of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. The Add Text subprocess will be started. In the graphic region, a table for input of designation text will appear. Details...

6.Select the placement of mark by pressing the required button in the Location group:
Above Line,
Below line,
In Line Break.
The position of mark can also be changed by moving the cursor. At the same time, switching between the options of placement of mark is performed.
7.Specify the point determining the position of mark on the selected object. After that, creation of designation automatically ends.
If the point is specified outside an object, then the position of mark is determined by a projection of the set point onto the object or its continuation. In this case, the object (except arcs of ellipses, NURBS, conic curves, and Bezier curves) automatically extend to the required distance with a thin line.
8.To complete operation of the command, click the Complete .
