Add Notes to Items

This procedure is used to add notes to items that are displayed alongside them on the drawing.

A maximum of 132 characters can be used, which automatically adopt the colour of the item to which the note relates. They are included in the output files when an export is carried out. Notes cannot be added to clouds, as clouds are not part of the data output. Notes are edited by using the labelling procedure, refer to Label Symbols and Pipes, but notes should not be confused with labels.
