KOMPAS-3D v25

The mode of working with technical notes is intended for input, editing and setup of their text. To start the mode, invoke the Layout – Technical notes – Set/modify command. Technical notes and elements of work with them are displayed on a separate tab in the window KOMPAS-3D.

Signs of the mode of working technical notes:

•orange color of the tab and heading of the Parameter Toolbar,

•The name displayed in the tab header — «The filename →Technical notes»,

•the mode icon in the graphic area .

If technical notes are set in the document, they are shown in the graphic region. Also a dotted marquee designating the page borders of technical notes on a sheet is displayed. By default, borders in the drawing are set by the width of the title block. To learn more about changing the borders, see section Location of technical notes in the drawing.

In this mode all the features are available for entering, editing and formatting text which are described in the section Working procedures, except for the insertion of vertical text and illustrations.

You can speed up work on creating technical notes by excluding the repeated entry of frequently used items and using the standard text input (see section Standard texts).

During creation of technical notes, you can save or insert the text as blocks from text files (*.txt) or text documents of KOMPAS-3D (*.kdw) (see section Use of text blocks).

Using the Spelling menu Edit, you can perform spell check of texts in various languages (see section Spelling check by a command fetch).

Entered technical notes are transferred to the document after saving the changes made in the mode.
