Using Notes

The Diagram view toolbar always displays note and note link buttons that place notes and note links on the diagram. Notes can be free floating, or you can draw a note link to some other element to show that a note pertains specifically to it.

In the Diagram view, you can:

• Edit the text when its in-place editor is active.
• Edit a note's properties using its Properties view. (Select Properties from the context menu.)
• Add an existing note from one diagram to another diagram using a shortcut. (Select New > Shortcut from any diagram context menu.)
  

In the Properties view for the note, you can:

• Use Hyperlinks to hyperlink the note to another diagram or element.
• Track various requirements properties.
• Edit the text as text.
• Change the foreground and background colors, and control 3D appearance.
• Change the text-only property.
