Sketch Annotations

[BassMati]

Hi to all,

is it possible to create text annotations in a Sketch? My drawings are getting complicated and deserve some text here and there in addition to pure datum values…

The TechDraw workbench could be tool of choice to create multiple pages from a single sketch to illustrate various aspects, but I could find a way to create a page from a sketch directly, only from a 3D object. Unfortunately, there are no 3D objects created from my "skeleton sketches", which are only used to construct and calculate some geometry values, and I don't want to create a Pad from these sketches solely for that purpose.

So, is there a trick with the TechDraw workbench? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you don't need that the text is visually displayed in the sketch, you can add a custom property of type PropertyStringList to the sketch and store your annotations there.

Thanks for the idea! that would be great for commenting the purpose of an entire sketch. Certainly useful! But I was was indeed looking for a means to create visual text in the drawing.
