Creating a Note

  1. Select the Note tool from the Annotation ribbon group in the Detail tab.
    Mouse over the faces of your design to preview the eligible annotation planes. (In Sketch and Section mode, the sketch grid defines the annotation plane.)
  2. Click a face to create the plane on which to place the note.
    To create an annotation plane for a cylindrical face, select the cylinder's axis.
    If you need to change the annotation plane, right-click and click Select New Annotation Plane from the context menu and select a new annotation plane.
  3. Click to place the note on the plane.
  4. Enter the text of the note.

    • Click in the mini-toolbar to insert a symbol into your note at the cursor location.

    • Click in the mini-toolbar to insert a dynamic field. Dynamic fields include current values from a variety of properties.

    • You can format the note text, and enter the text by cutting, copying, and pasting the text from other notes or dimension annotations.

    • Discovery recognizes many fonts stored on your computer. If you paste text from outside of Discovery, and the font is not recognized, the default font will be used.
  5. Adjust the orientation of the note by dragging the rotation handles.
