Note

Menu access : Detailing | Note (in TopSolid/Draft) or Tools | Note (in TopSolid/Design)

Description :

Allows you to create a note.

General philosophy :

  1. Running the function will automatically display the windows below :

Type your text, use the "Enter" key (on your keyboard) to go to the next line choose the note style and click the OK button (or a right click mouse) to validate your text and localize it in your document.

  1. Localize a point for the first leader or choose the NO LEADER option to stop the function without creating any leader.

  1. Localize a point for the second leader or choose the STOP option to return at the beginning of the function.

Example(s) :

Note style = UNDERLINE

Note style = IN BOX STYLE

Horizontal alignment = Center

Note style = UNDERLINE

With 2 leaders

Specific point(s) :

At the bottom of the creation dialog box, the standard formats allows you to create specific passives dimensions for points.

It's possible to add high and low tolerances on a note, you have to type the text using the following syntax :

<+0.1|HT><-0.2|LT> where HT means high tolerance and LT means low tolerance.

Example :

Text note

Result

Longueur 50 <+0.1|HT><-0.2|LT>

The fact of being able to keyboard this kind of syntax brings  problems when you want to keyboard only the symbol "<".

Thus you must use the following rule for certain symbols:

To obtain < , you must keyboard \<. Example: To obtain A<B, you must keyboard A\<B.

To obtain \ , you must keyboard \\ . Example: To obtain A\B , you must keyboard A\\B. And thus to obtain \\ , you must keyboard \\\\.

Use the Tools | Options function to declare your own predefined note. length

Possible modification(s) :

You can add a leader with the Edit/Insert function, and you can remove another one with the Edit/Extract function.
