Notes, numbers, and Triangles
Notes, numbers, and Triangles
(OP)
I have to create a manufacturing note in a drawing. In this note is about 20 numbered individual notes. I used SWorks to create this note as one whole note and I used the numbering feature to number them all.
My problem is, Because this is a Mil drawing, any note that is flagged anywhere on the print (the note number with a triangle frame) has to have a triangle frame around the number in the main group of notes and the period needs to be removed per ANSI standard.
Does anyone else have to do this and do you have any tips or tricks to make this happen?
Thanks

replacing the "1" with whatever number you want in the triangle.

This might be a simple ER.
Thanks for the great sug's Finethread and Handleman.

I would have note 1.
Then note 2 was an inserted symbol with a triangle frame.
Then there was note 2 again because of the automatic numbering. This wasn't going to work.
This is what I found, if you change the starting number digit in "bullets and numbering" to lets say "3" and select OK nothing will happen. But if you change the indent slightly for that line, ex. go from 10 to 10.01, the number will then change to three.
The indent needs to increase after every triangle with every new starting number.

Create your notes with the auto numbering. Then create a ballon. Override the document font and set the spacing as Handlman suggested above (.115).
Then create a new note and in the property manager, set the "Border" to "Triangle" and "1 character". Place the note on the sheet and type a "space" in so you don't get the box that shows up inside the triangle.
Then drag and place it over the number in the note. After you have all the trianlges in place, window select the note and triangles, right click and select "Group". Now you can move it around together easily.
The only catch here is if you edit the note you may have to ungroup and position the Triangles.
