Engineer’s Notebook

The Engineer’s Notebook is a very effective tool that gives you the ability to create notes and directly stores them as part of a model.

You can attach a note to an edge, sketch, feature, part, or other selection in the model. Each note consists of a comment box and a view of the model. To start the Engineers Notebook, select a part in the window, right-click, and select Create Note. When you add the first note to a model, the program creates a notebook. You can add comment boxes or additional views to a note or add more notes to the notebook. You can use the Engineer’s Notebook to save the history of development or to provide reminders for project designers. Examples of notes include design strategy, reason for a design decision, manufacturing instructions, or information from a test or FEA calculation.

Notes can contain links to external files, such as spreadsheets, word processing documents, graphics, or audio files.
