the Comments control bar, showing the time and date, author, ID and status of each comment. The icon
on the far left represents the source type:
- selection set.
- search set.
or - viewpoint.
or - viewpoint animation.
- tag.
With many comments attached to many sources in a model, you may want to find a particular comment
without having to manually search each possible source. See “ Finding Comments ” for details on how to
achieve this.
Note:
The first line of a comment is what is displayed in the top half of the Comments control bar and
can be treated like its "subject". To get multiple lines in a comment, hold down Control and press
Enter. This will give you a carriage return in the text box, rather than simulating a press of the OK
button.
Any new comments will automatically be given a unique ID, along with the date and author of the
comment and a status can be set. All of these are searchable criteria.
Once a comment is added, it can be edited or deleted.
Adding Comments
You can add as many comments as you wish to a source, either from the Comments control bar, or from
the source itself.
Adding a comment from the Comments control bar:
1. Go to the source of the comment, be it a viewpoint, selection set or Clash Detective result.
2. Open the Comments control bar by clicking on the Workspace toolbar.
3. Right-click the Comments control bar, and click Add Comment on the shortcut menu.
An empty Add Comment resizable dialog is displayed.
