feature request - sketcher comment text

Post by lrak »

Long term CAD user here - (1985 was running first PC packages)

In sketcher - what really is missing is a way to put down some notes - in locations related to the sketch - just plain text.

What I imagine, is something like a construction line (same color) - little blobs (multiple bits) of text to put reminders or notes about the sketch.
Obviously these txt-blobs would not get rendered as part of the 3d.

An example often helps - suppose there is a circle that lacks a final precise diameter - A note to that effect next to the circle would be useful. And another note next to an angle that needs fixing. Or a note in place of some feature that is yet to be sketched in.

(I know there are ways to put text in the 3d model -) ..
