1 . Preselect one or more Notes to enable the Notes contextual page and click the Copy Notes icon found in the Modify section.

Alternative: Invoke Copy Notes using the Find Tool by searching the command name and clicking the icon, which is pictured above.

2 . The status line prompts, "Locate offset". Various Locate options become active along with Locate - Pan - Return mouse bindings. Left-click (Locate) where you want to copy the Note to.

Note: The Note's reference point is automatically selected at the tip of the Note's pointer.

Alternative 1: If you selected more than one Note in step 1, the status line prompts, "Locate reference point". Left-click (Locate) a reference point and then follow step 2 above. The Notes will copy with respect to the reference point rather than the tip of their pointer.

Alternative 2: Press Esc or right-click (Enter) to end the command.

3 . The status line prompts, "Select member to copy to". The Select - Pan - Menu mouse bindings become active. Left-click (Locate) a member to link the member to the copied Note.

Alternative 1: Right-click (Menu) and select OK or press Enter to copy the Note without linking it to a member.

Alternative 2: Right-click (Menu) and select Cancel or press Esc to end the command. The Note will not be copied.

  • Notes will appear in your model unless you unchecked the box ( ) for Show in model on the Edit Note window or unchecked the box for Notes in Display Options.
  • If you select only one Note, Copy Notes will automatically use the tip of the Note's pointer as its reference point.
  • If you select multiple Notes to be copied, you will be prompted to locate a reference point.
  • Instead of creating a new Note using Add Note to Model, you may find it easier to copy and edit an existing note.
