robdyck Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 There must be a way to insert an existing text note that is in another view without copy and paste. For example, if I have a list of notes for exterior details that have been generated in the front elevation, and I'd like to repeat some of those on other elevations, do I really have to toggle back and forth between screens to copy and paste, and then refer back to my schedule so I can remember what they are? That seems like more work than just typing new notes in each drawing. Seems like I'll need to buy a few more screens...and get a bigger desk and a bigger office and more eyes... There must be a tool to insert an existing note from an existing schedule, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You might be able to make use of a few simple text macro's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Both of those are good ideas. I hate filling up my library with stuff specific to a single plan only. Wouldn't a tool that allows you to insert anything from an established schedule be kinda handy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, tied now, I've gotta bring some better advise. Personally, I add items that will be specific to a job into a job folder in the library, when the job is done I deleted the folder. I don't disagree with your request! You could always export just that library for your archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I do as well , then I archive the Folder in case the Client comes back in the future for more work. And +1 for the OP too. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
