Adding an NSO Keynote

In addition to general keynotes, you can add NSO keynotes to a drawing by selecting them from the NSONOTES database under the project.

As when adding a general keynote, a symbol displaying the keynote number and/or type is added to the drawing. You can add the legend for the keynotes as a table in the drawing. You can also add the keynote in the drawing as a regular reference line text without a symbol.

1. Select Drafting | Tools | Insert Keynote Insert NSO Note.
2. Select the keynote in the dialog box.

   If the keynote type is a question mark (?), select the type from the list into which all the general keynote types are collected from the KEYNOTES database.

3. Select text properties for the symbol.

4. Click a location (A) for the start point of the reference line. Depending on the settings, the start point is marked with an arrow or a circle. The default is a circle.
5. If necessary, select the auxiliary function Meander line, and select the other points of the reference line.
6. Click a location for the text (B).
7. Quit by pressing the Esc key.

Note

• The symbol of the reference line's start point (arrow or circle) and other default parameters of keynotes are defined in the DRAFT keyword group with the keynote_params keyword.
