Using those functions I can edit the Graphics Annotations table cells but the actual label won&#8217;t appear in the 3d view and the new table row also disappears after focus changes.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>So it seems I&#8217;m missing the mouse click part where the label position is decided but I have no idea how to do that. I can&#8217;t find the javascript function that gets executed on mouse click nor I can find any way to simulate the mouse click via script.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>I also noticed the label may appear in position (0,0,0) if I run correct functions immediately after restarting the Mechanical.
