You can customize the style of your annotations in a single design or set a custom style as the default for all designs. You can quickly customize the style to conform to ASME
or ISO/JIS standards, or you can create a style by customizing note leaders, dimensions, and geometric tolerances.
Select SpaceClaim Options from the File menu and click Detailing or click 
in the Annotation ribbon group on the Detailing tab.
Set the options for Defaults:
Select one of the following from the Detailing options for drop-down list:
All New Documents to create a default detailing style for all your designs. These settings will not affect any currently open documents.
This Document to set options for the current design only.
Click OK to save all your changes and close the window.

Show thread designation in thread diameter - Choose whether thread designations are shown instead of thread diameters:
Never: Show the diameter and not the thread designation.
Always: Show the thread designation instead of the diameter.
Per thread table: Use the value for ShowThreadDesignationInDiameterDimensions in the thread table XML file. The value can be set to true or false.
If units match: Show the thread designation if the system units match the units from the thread table.
Per thread table if units match: Show the thread designation if the units match and if the ShowThreadDesignationInDiameterDimensions value is true.

Default chamfer dimension text format - Choose between:
Show zero value for base ordinate dimension - Display the baseline dimension as a 0.
Show common dimension line for ordinate dimensions - Display all dimensions along the same line.
Check Rotate text if you want the dimensions to be displayed along the line instead of perpendicular to the line.
Show datum target endpoints - Checkbox for showing or hiding the endpoint.

Type of object - From the drop-down, select an object type, then select the Line style and Thickness for that object.
Only a Thickness option is available for Cross hatching.
Options for Detail view clipping edges apply to all clipping edges of partial views. You can also set a Color for the clipping edges.
Only a Thickness option is available for Area cross section border lines.
Only a Thickness option is available for Cross section arrow tips.
The values in the Trim back section control the line weight for side offset handles.
Thick-Empty-Thick lines look like this: 
Thick-Thin-Thick lines look like this: 
Line style: Select a line style for the object. For example, when working with Wireframe, Hidden Line, or Hidden Line Removed visibility modes, you can now select a line style to show the edge(s) of a design’s partial view. This feature enables you to easily identify which parts of the model are cut by the partial clipping boundary. Non-solid line styles can help to differentiate a detail view with clipped edges when in wireframe mode.
To enable the display to view while working with your design:
Select Lineweight in the Show group in the Display tab
Select Hidden Line, Hidden Line Removed or Wireframe from the Graphics drop down in the Style group in the Display tab
