Insert Annotation on a part
Insert Annotation on a part
(OP)
Hi all
How do you write a message on a part, not the drawing. I've looked at the annotation buttons but have found nothing.
I'm sure that I've done it before, but I can't remember how to.

1) in modeling go to Insert -> Curve -> Text...
2) switch to drafting and turn off the sheet display (if necessary) this will leave you in what appears to be modeling, but with the drafting toolbars. From here you can add notes (annotation objects), be aware that the note will be oriented to the current WCS (on the X-Y plane). Reorient the WCS as needed before adding notes.

I should have said that I'm doing a sheet metal part, and I can't find it. It's not under insert>curve.
But when I in modelling, it's under insert>curve.
RE: Insert Annotation on a part
You'll get some sort of warning when you switch to modeling, something about not all modeling features are supported in a sheet metal part. This is a warning that if you modify the part in modeling you may not be able to flatten the sheet metal part later (if you add some swoopy free form flange, for example). Add ing a text note shouldn't invalidate your sheet metal part, but it may not move with the face when the model is flattened (I'm not sure about that). Save a copy of your part and give it a shot.
