The Different Functions Used to Control the Location of a Note.
Solution
All three of the below functions do the same thing but are either presets or directly controlling the placement point of text, word or paragraph, and also to be used when aligning another note to an already existing note.
This is used for individual Notes which can be altered by presetting prior to creation to align them or post editing existing notes to align them.
'Drafting -> Home -> Note -> Alignment -> Anchor'.
This is a Part Specific setting found within all existing Part files and used only to predefine alignment for all new notes created in Drafting .
'File -> Preferences -> Drafting -> Common -> Lettering -> Alignment -> Alignment Position'.
Like all Customer Defaults that report in the "Scope" column as being "Part" specific, this setting is applicable to only a new "Blank Part". Only a Blank Part has never previously existed and is created from scratch at the time when generated by a user. This is not used for any existing new part Template file.
'File -> Utilities -> Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> General/Setup -> Standard (tab) -> Customize Standard -> Common -> Lettering -> Alignment -> Text Alignment'.
