FTA hidden text for Flag Note

FTA hidden text for Flag Note

FTA hidden text for Flag Note

(OP)
I've tried using the 'Hidden Text' within the FTA flag note window which causes a text window to pop up when you place the curser on the flag note. A good way to see what the note is without having to go to the parts list to read it. Much to my surprise, while doing a review on a part in our conference rooom, I put the curser over a flag note to tell the party what it called out, and nothing. I found that if I don't have the FTA license running, and if I don't have the FTA workbench on, I don't see that text window. Is that the way it was designed??? If so, that's no good.

RE: FTA hidden text for Flag Note

Activate the “3D-Annotation-Query Switch On/Switch off” commando in the Part design workbench and then you can the see the hidden text without the FTA-license. The “3D-Annotaion-Query Switch On/Switch off” commando can you find in the Annotation Toolbar in the Part design workbench.

Thanks Ocad

I had the switch on within the FTA; but, I thought that would have been modal and carried over to the other workbenches. It wasn't. Like you said, once I added that query switch to the annotation toolbar for part-design and turned it on, the hidden text was there. Thanks again.
