Adding a Note

You can attach longer comments as a markup note with AutoVue’s Markup Control Note Editor. A note displays in the workspace as a standard size graphical symbol

. Each note is labelled as Note<n>—where n represents the numerical order of occurrence of the note (for example, the first note is labelled as Note1). To read the note, double-click the entity to open it or move the mouse over the entity to display the tooltip.

From the Markup menu, select Add Entity, and then select Note.

Note: From the Markup Entity toolbar, you can also click Note .

Click a point on the document where you want to insert the note.

The Markup Control Note Editor dialog box appears.

Enter the text that you want in the note.

To modify the text, select Formatting and the format you want to apply.

From the File menu, select Information.

The Note Information dialog box appears.

In Name, Author and Key Words fields, enter the required text for the note.

Click OK.

Close the Markup Control Note Editor dialog box.

The note appears on the drawing and in the Markup Navigation Tree.

Right-click outside the note area to complete the modification.

To move the note, click and drag it.

Note: To edit a note, double-click the note symbol in the workspace. You can also select the note in the tree, right-click, and select Edit, or double-click the note.

Viewing and Printing the List of Notes

You can view a list of the notes you added to a file. You can also print the notes or find a note in the workspace.

To find a note, select the note from the list and click Go To.

AutoVue zooms into the selected note in the workspace.

To print a note, select the note from the list.

Note: To print more than one note, press the Shift or Control key while selecting. To print all the notes in the list, click Select All.

Click Print.
The Note Print Options dialog box appears.

Note: To print each selected note on a separate page, select One Note Per Page.
