when we draw an object we should be able to attach a note to it in the same way we attach a record. then later, when we are in viewport annotation mode, we can just hover our curser over the object (in plan or in section) and the note for that object will pop up at the end of our curser for placement, because we have attached the note to the object when it was created.
this attached note to the object does not show up on the object when it is attach. although it could be part of the heads-up-display.
when in the design process one does not know exactly how the construction drawings are going to be set up. you want to place a note but do not know where to put it yet, so the above method would help greatly.
example:
i use the floor tool to create a 4" thick slab.
the note that is going w/ that slab is:
CONCRETE SLAB 4"
W/ WWF REINFORCEMENT
the keynote marker for this is:
C50
when i create the object i attach the note: CONCRETE SLAB 4" etc.
then later (like weeks later) in annotate mode i hover my curser over the slab object and my
keynote marker "C50" pops up, i then click to place it w/o a leader line or click/drag to get a leader line
(the key note C50 is an office standard. everyone in the office uses C50 to mean the same thing no matter what project they are working on. so the notes tool needs to support this)
also, when i am done placing my keynotes for that sheet then the notes tool will create a notes column on my sheet. (this of course is all pre-formatted by me when setting up the office standards.) and if i delete or add any notes on that sheet then the notes column will update by deleting or adding notes.
