GLOBAL
KEYNOTING SYSTEM
APS Global Keynoting is a system that allows you to create a global
set of keynotes for a project and quickly and easily note your drawings using
the list and finally create a keynote list with only the keynotes that are used
within the current sheet.
Placing keynotes is as simple as drawing a leader. There are seven styles of
keynote arrowhead available:
 |
KEYNOT - Std Arrowhead
KEYNOTA - Architectural Arrowhead
KEYNOTB - Butterfly Arrowhead
KEYNOTD - Dot Arrowhead
KEYNOTS - Simple Arrowhead
KEYNOTT - Tick Arrowhead |
KEYNOTBBL - Bubble Arrowhead
 |
Use the TXTEDT command to
edit keynotes. The entire global keynote list appears and you may select the
keynote from the list so you don't have to remember all the numbers and you
don't have to type the number to help eliminate the chance of typos.
When you are ready you may use the
KEYLIST command to generate a
listing of all the keynote definitions that have been used in the drawing. Oops
forgot a keynote? No problem. Add the keynote and use the
KEYLIST command again the
list of keynotes is updated.
Use layers to put more than one sheet in a drawing file? No problem. This
system is "layer aware" so you may have several sheets in the same drawing. The
keynote list only lists the keynotes who's layer is ON at the time the list is
generated. The "other" sheet's keynotes are ignored.
Commands
Included:
Keynoting example:
 Select the point
at which you would like the leader to start.
 Select the second point or press "D" or "L" to use the Distance/Length
& direction dialog.
Select the endpoint for the leader where keynote box will be inserted or
press <Enter> or <Space> to select another keynote symbol to align
to.
[Pressed <Enter> or <Space>]
Select any point on an existing keynote with which to align the new keynote.
Now that the keynote is drawn use
TXTEDT or double click on the keynote box to edit the value. (this assumes
you have double-click
set up)
A dialog similar to the one below appears with your current list of keynotes
shown. Either type in a value in the box highlighted, select the "Match
Existing Key Number" button to copy a keynote number from an existing keynote
or select a line in the numbered keynote list and the number will be entered
in the keynote.
Once all the keynotes have been updated as much as is possible you may add
the keynote list to the drawing.
No need to wait until all the keynotes have been finalized the list can be
updated at any time.
