Panels > Notes

The Notes command opens a panel where text notes can be added to the model.

Note

  • Notes also appear in Notes Document Properties.
  • Notes are saved with Rhino 3DM and IGES files.
  • Use keyboard shortcut keys or right-click context menu to cut, copy, and paste to and from the Notes panel.
  • If the Notes panel is open when you save a model, it will be open next time the model is opened. This is useful if you want to make sure the person that opens the 3DM file sees the notes.
  • Notes can also be displayed in Windows Explorer. Right-click a 3DM file and select Properties.
  • The Notes panel uses the text size setting of the command prompt.

Steps

  • In the Notes panel, type information you want to save with the model.

Notes in template files

  • To add a description to a template file, type the description in the Notes panel before saving the template file. Start the note with the ' (apostrophe), # (number/pound sign) or // (slash slash) character to prevent it from being copied into the new document created from the template. The description displays in the template list of the splash screen when Rhino starts.
