SoftDraft QuickNotesS Imperial
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
QuickNotes streamlines the process of placing standard notes and annotations in AutoCAD drawings. Instead of typing notes manually or copying text from old projects, users select a note category, choose a predefined note, and place it directly into the drawing with one click.
Typical workflow:
-
Launch QuickNotes Enter the command QNOTES to open the main QuickNotes dialog.
-
Select a Note Category Categories organize notes by discipline or project type, making it easy to locate the correct note.
-
Choose a Standard Note Each note is pre‑formatted with consistent wording and style. Users simply select the note they want to place.
-
Specify Leader Options (Optional) Users can choose the number of leader points and leader type before placing the note.
-
Place the Note in the Drawing QuickNotes inserts the note using the correct text style, layer, and formatting automatically.
How it fits into the user’s workflow: QuickNotes replaces repetitive MText entry with a fast, consistent note‑placement system. It ensures that all notes follow company standards, reduces typing errors, and speeds up drawing production—especially on projects that require frequent annotation.
