About Note Parameters
In addition to text and special symbols, notes can include model dimensions, pattern instance parameters, symbols, drawing labels, and drawing parameters. The Detail option yes_no_parameter_display controls the display of yes/no parameters in drawing notes and tables.
When specifying parameter information in a note, keep in mind the following restrictions:
When you include dimensions in notes, the system removes them from their originally-assigned views.
You cannot add draft dimensions (associative—add # or nonassociative -dd#) to a note.
A datum name in the note is read-only, so you cannot modify it; unlike dimensions, a datum name does not disappear from the model view if it is included in a note. The system encloses its name in a rectangle, as if it were a set datum.
You cannot use drawing labels in drawing relations; you can only use them in drawing notes and tables.
When the note appears, the system replaces dimensions and parameters by the corresponding numerical values. If you set the configuration file option switch_dims_for_notes to yes, dimensions appear as their symbolic values during note creation. If you set it to no, they remain as numerical values.
Before referencing a model in a parametric note, make sure that you add this model to the drawing. Otherwise, the system does not evaluate the model parameter referenced in the note.
You can include a gtol symbol in a note by entering it as a parameter; however, you cannot include global parameters (that is, parameters created in a layout) and draft dimensions in notes.
