Notes Overview
Use notes to add text and labels to drawings.
A note can be free floating or fixed, and it can be placed with a leader pointing to an item (face, edge, or vertex) in the document. It can contain simple text, symbols, parametric text, and hyperlinks. The leader can be straight, bent, or multi-jog.
