To Create an Unattached Note
When you create an unattached note, you bypass any leader setup options and specify only the note text and position on the sheet.
1. On the Annotate Tab, click the arrow next to Note, and click Unattached Note. The Select Point dialog box opens.
2. Select one of the following placement options on the Select Point dialog box:
◦ — Places the note at the free point that you select on the drawing.
◦ — Places the note at the absolute coordinates defined by the X and Y values with reference to the drawing origin. Click OK on the Select Point dialog box to confirm the X and Y values for the coordinates.
◦ — Places the note on the drawing object that you select.
◦ — Places the note on the vertex that you select.
The origin of the note text box is placed at the location that you select. The Format tab opens. Use the commands on the Format tab to format the note text.
3. Type the note text and click outside the text box to place the note.
