Displaying notes within an element
« on: September 03, 2015, 05:44:48 pm »
Hi guys,

is it possible to display element notes within the element itself?
I know that notes are shown within a tooltip but how do I directly show them e.g. below the elements name instead or additionally to the Notes window?

Thx

Yes, right click on element, choose Features and Properties|Feature and Compartment Visibility and check "Show Notes"

Or to do it for a whole diagram right click on diagram and choose Properties|Elements and check the "Notes" checkbox.

Hi,

both settings are set, but it's still not displayed the way I want it to (see pic).
I want to have the not at the end of the arrow.

Two possibilities: 1) use Advanced/Rectangular from the context in addition. 2) create a note, link it to the action, connect the link to the Element Feature "Element Notes" (context of the link connector) and place the note inside (which might look a bit clumsy).

Ah, you have to set it to rectangular Notation.
Right click Advanced|Use Rectangular Notation

Thanks, using rectangular notation is fine for me.
