Adding Object Notes

You can annotate any object in your Map — whether it be a node icon, geometric shape, symbol, text block, connection, or even an embedded or linked object (described in Using Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), beginning on page 6-47) — with object notes; you can also add object notes to nodes which appear in a List or Tree View. Object notes are simply additional descriptions that are associated with the selected element; they have no other function.

You can add an Object Note to any element in a map or other view via the Edit—>Notes

option on the primary window menu bar, via the Edit Notes icon on the toolbar, or via the Edit Notes option available on the right-mouse Map or View menu; for device icons, you can also enter a note via the General tabbed page in the Properties window (see Chapter 4, List Views, for more information on configuring device properties).

You can also add notes to multiple nodes via the Multi-Node Properties window; see

TIP Adding Notes to Multiple Nodes, page 6-42.
