Locking a Note

Locking a Note

Locking a Note

(OP)
How can I lock a note into position relative to an edge?

I want to use this for engraving and need to place it in the correct position.  

RE: Locking a Note

Your best approach would be to use the Origin Tool, select the 'Point Constructor' option, then using the full Point Dialog (the last item on the drop-down list of 'Origin Locations') use the Rectangular Offset option to position your note relative to some selected point, say an End Point, Mid-Point, Arc Center, etc.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 

RE: Locking a Note

Try Insert > Curve > Text > On Face.

Not suitable for multiple lines of text, but it can be positioned with a good deal of accuracy and reliability..

RE: Locking a Note

If you use Curve on face set the Font to modern.  This will give you a single line font.
