Summary
Notes can contain plain text or formulas . A predefined set of templates containing formulas are available in the symbol library. An appropriate template is automatically applied when you attach a note to an object. Hence, notes automatically display meaningful context sensitive information immediately upon creation.
Use the AMNOTETAB system variable to turn the Note contextual tab on or off. It opens the Note dialog only if the system variable is set to 0.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
- Select object to attach

- Symbol name - Specifies the name of the template you want to apply.
- Start point
- Specifies the position of the leader arrow. If you attach the symbol to an arc, circle, ellipse or spline, AutoCAD Mechanical toolset automatically determines the start point and does not display this prompt.
- Next point
- Specifies the location of next vertex of the leader. Note:
- If you attach the symbol to an arc, circle, ellipse or spline AutoCAD Mechanical toolset forces the leader to be perpendicular to the attached object. To override this restriction, press the Toggle Symbol Leader Orthogonal Mode key (SHIFT + F, by default) as you move the cursor.
- If you attach the symbol to a line, AutoCAD Mechanical toolset does not enforce this restriction. To make the leader segment perpendicular to the attached line, move the cursor so that the leader is approximately perpendicular, and track along the alignment path that is displayed.
- Symbol
