Is it possible to create a custom list in the Modeling application?

Is it possible to create a custom list in the Modeling application?

Is it possible to create a custom list in the Modeling application?

(OP)
Good day!

I'm trying to insert a list in Modeling application... I mean, I have a 3D model, and I'd like to know if it's possible to add some valuable information for that part right there in the 3D model. Someone has faced this before or have any clue if it's possible to create and insert a customized list to 3D Modeling app?.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!



RE: Is it possible to create a custom list in the Modeling application?

Have you considered a tabular note?

Switch to drafting application, turn off displayed sheet (or don't add a sheet if prompted), move WCS to desired orientation, and add a tabular note. The note will be view dependent in the modeling view it was added to.

so what cowski is saying is that the note (or table) will be placed on the Xc-Yc plane of where your WCS is in your model

Wow! That's exactly what I was looking for! and seems quite easy. Thank you very much cowski and jerry1423!!!

RE: Is it possible to create a custom list in the Modeling application?

Have you looked into using PMI? This is the go-forward solution for adding non-geometric data to 3D models. This includes not only notes but also dimensions, GD&T tolerance information, datum call-outs, Parts List and ID balloons, security/export disclamers, Material specifications, etc.
