Additional informations in library items

Post by Rantanplan7 » Thu Oct 04, 2018 7:49 am

Hi,

I assume there is no possibility to add some additional informations in a symbol which I don't want to get visible in the drawing?
I thought of something like "standard delivery with 1 x 150, 1 x 100, 1 x 60 cm safety fences" - a simple textblock which could be visible in the properties editor.
Best Regards

Yep - there are only limited possibilities. Whats about to misuse the Custom Property's (Property Editor) or to use a Layer which is normally switched to invisible?

Just tried it and yes, the property editor is a possible solution for this, thanks.
