Annotation note in the model tree

[jdt020471]

Does anyone know if you can insert a note into the model tree? If so, how do you do it? I'm using Wildfire by the way.

Thanks in advance

In 2001 you can create a "dummy" feature that you don't need (for example a datum plane) an after that "SetUp-->Name" and write your own note. I guess it is possible to do something like this in Wildfire too.

Yep, that is what I do. I just use a 'Default coordinate system'. I think this has a very low regen time (does not impact regen performance) and it does not need any parent relationship.

That would work too

In 2001 You can create Part or Feature notes in the model tree by Right Clicking on the Part Name and choosing create note. I think you have to change the tree filter, to show the notes. You can change the Note name or even show it on screen if you need to.

"edit" "setup" "note" type in your notation. This can be placed or unplaced in the model. You then need to go to model tree tab "settings" "tree filters" tick show notes. the full notation does not appear but the feature is visible.

You can right click on the notes in the model tree and choose modify and you will see the note creation dialog window to see the full note.

I'm not sure if you made it Read Only feature would hide the modify action from the Pop-up menu. You might want to try that to protect the Model or Feature notes.

This way you can view the note without having to put it on a layer although the Using Layers for the notes might be better and easier to view the notes depending on your approach.
