Note dialog box

Use the Note dialog box to create or edit drafting notes and labels. You can also use the Note dialog box to create freestanding single, segmented, or multiple leader lines.

  • Notes are blocks of text that can contain one or more lines.

  • Labels are blocks of text with one or more leader lines. You can choose to add arrow heads or other terminating symbols to your leader lines.

Start the note by typing text in the Editor window. Click Properties to show the Drafting Options dialog box, where you can format the text. You can also import text from an ASCII file.

In the following picture, "Mastercam" is a note, and "Button Plate" is a label with a single leader.
