When we are creating 2d drawing, every time typing the notes wastes a lot of time, and in most times we find we can catalog the notes for the drawings, but after

concluding them, how could we add them in an efficient way? Let’s look into it.

3.1 In 2D drawing, tab “Annotate”->“Annotations” group ->“Symbol” ->“Symbol

Gallery” ->“Menu Manager”;

3.2 In “Menu Manager”,“SYM GALLERY” -> click “Define” ->enter symbol name ->go

Note”-> select a free point on the drawing;

Properties”;

the first notes, then create group BB&CC.

will change to below shown:

3.8 Click “Attributes ” -> go to “Symbol Definition Attributes ” window -> in tab

“General ” -> check “Free ” in group “Allowed Placement Types ” -> select a point in drawing to pick the notes when using it.

3.9 Change to tab “Var Text ” -> edit the “Preset Values for:…” (type in the notes) ->click “OK ”

.

Edit: add or remove groups by choosing group

names; Delete: delete groups by choosing group names; Clear All: delete all groups;

>click “Done” in the main 2d drawing window, the notes creating is complete, it’s saved in session, if you want to save it in files, click “Write” -> enter the directory (if the directory displayed is where you want to save, then type enter button).

3.11 When using the notes, click Symbol -> Custom Symbol ->“Custom Drawing

Symbol” -> choose the Symbol name in “General” tab -> click “Grouping” tab;

3.12 In “Grouping” tab, choose which kind of notes you need -> change to “Variable

Text” tab, choose notes, then can put the notes in the drawing.

3.13 When inserting the notes, you may find two situations in the Grouping tab, like

below shown. In the left one, we can choose more than one types, but in the right, only can choose one type, why this happened?

Let’s go back to the symbol editing: click “Symbol” ->“Symbol Gallery” -> go to Menu Manager.

In Menu Manager, click “Redefine ” -> click “Name ” -> choose your note name -> go back to “SYM_EDIT ” window.

Click “Groups ” in Menu Manager -> click “Group Attr ”, you can switch “Exclusive ” and “Independent ” to change the grouping types (like upper shown).

Independent, can choose more than one types.
