Text and notes (Drawing workspace)

In the Drawing workspace in Fusion, you can use the commands in the Text panel on the toolbar to add text and notes to sheets in a drawing as you document your design.

You can use the following commands to add notes to a sheet:

Text

The Text command creates a text object to label parts of a drawing, provide specifications, or add annotations.

Click to place the opposite corners of the text box on the sheet, then enter and format the text in the text box.

You can adjust the following text settings:

Note

The Note command automatically creates a different type of note based on the type of object you select on the current sheet.

You can create the following types of notes:

Note: Each of the different note types has its own separate command, which you can pin to the toolbar for quick access.

Leader

The Leader command creates a multiline text object with a leader that associates the note to a component or feature on the current sheet.

Hole and Thread Note

The Hole and Thread Note command creates a hole or thread note associated with a hole or thread feature that you select on the current sheet.

You can also create thread notes for thread features that aren't associated with hole features. This means you can create a thread note for a thread that you added to extruded cuts (internal thread) or extruded circular profiles (external thread).

Bend Note

The Bend Note command creates a bend note associated with a sheet metal flat pattern bend that you select on the current sheet.

A bend note is a leaderless note associated to a selected bend center line within the sheet metal's flat pattern.

By default, the bend note is located at the midpoint of the bend center line and is parallel with the bend center line it's associated to.
