CUSTOMTOOLS notes templates are used to create templates to be used with the Notes feature. With the Note Templatess you can create notes that contain dynamic information based on the Properties of the all available scopes. Properties that belong to the different property scopes, are color coded in the Annotation Output box so that you can recognize the parts of the annotation output easier. The following colors are used to identify the blobs:
Model property | |
Cut-List property | |
Drawing property | |
Pre-defined function | |
Invalid item |
If you get the invalid item blob into the Annotation output of your Note Templates, please ensure that the item selected in the annotation output exist and also check the spelling of the annotation output item names.
