Notes

In the Fabrication products, the Notes feature lets you enter lines of text that can be used as notes. These notes can be assigned to items as they are accepted into jobs.

To access the Notes feature and create notes, click Database Takeoff Notes.

The notes associated with an Item can be printed on reports and labels and displayed in job contents.

GENERATE/NEW1.gif Creates a new note. Click in the field to enter the text to be displayed.

GENERATE/DELETE1.gif Deletes an existing note.

To add a note to an item:

  1. Select the item to be drawn using any of the standard takeoff methods.
    Note: Certified items will not display in the dialog unless the ALT key is pressed. Product list items do not show the dialog until the item is drawn and edited.
  2. Select the Item tab.

  3. Select one of the predefined Notes from the drop-down menu or alternatively type in the note directly into the box.
    Note: Entering notes by typing in the value does not enter them in the Main Database.
