NX6.0.1.5 MP3, Advanced Simulation

When post-processing simulation results, it's possible to show default Markers indicating the Minimum and Maximum of whatever output is being posted in the View. It's also possible to query the model using the "Identify Results" tool, and selecting an element. Once you pick entities from the screen, the value (or element ID if you desire) is shown in a text entity next to the element on screen. However, once you cancel out of the Identify dialogue box, the highlighted results disappear.

Is it possible to create a "persistent" custom marker or label on simulation results?

In addition to showing the value of the result (say, stress, or displacement, etc) on the element, and/or the element ID, perhaps you could also enter custom text. This would be very useful in communicating simulation results to others, or just for documenting a model.
