DRAW Administrator Guide

Notes

All 2D drafting elements; primitives (for example, lines, circles, rectangles), Text strings (TEXP) and Symbol instances (SYMB) are owned by notes in the DRAW element hierarchy.

There are two types of notes: Sheet Notes (NOTEs) which are the parent elements for 2D drafting elements at Sheet level, and View Notes (VNOTs) which are the parent elements for 2D drafting elements at View level.

When a 2D drafting element is added to a sheet that does not own any notes, a new Sheet Note is automatically created within the existing Layer (LAYE) elements.

Create Sheet Note

To create a Sheet Note, make the current element the sheet or an element owned by it.

Note:

Do not navigate below View level in the hierarchy, otherwise a View Note is created.

On the Admin tab, in the Libraries group, click Note to display the Create NOTE window.

It is recommended that the administrator gives the Note a name that makes its contents obvious to users. Click OK to create the Note or Cancel to discard any changes and close the Create NOTE window.

Create View Note

To create a View Note, make the current element an element owned by the View and on the ADMIN tab, in the Libraries group, click Note. The administrator is then prompted to Select Element. Click to identify the element, the View Note is created.
