Inserting a Keynote
Use this procedure to annotate a drawing with either a sheet keynote or a
reference keynote. If using a tool configured to insert a leader, you can select
an object for the leader to point to, or you can specify a point in an empty
region of the drawing.
1 On the Annotation tool palette, click the tool for the type of
keynote you want to include. The tools included on the sample
palette include Reference Keynote, Reference Keynote w/Straight
Leader, and Sheet Keynote (which also inserts a leader).
Alternatively, you can click one of the keynote tools on the
Annotate tab ➤ Keynoting panel ➤ Keynotes drop-down.
NOTE The default leader is a straight line. You can change the leader
type and other properties using the Tool Properties palette, which is
accessed from the context menu of the tool.
2 Select the object/component/linework you want to keynote, or
press ENTER and specify a point in the drawing area.
If a keynote is already associated with your selection, you can
finish drawing the leader as explained in Step 4. Otherwise, a
dialog is displayed.
