About Note Object Attributes

Before you begin with Note Object Attributes (NOA), you should be familiar with the concepts described in this section.

The Note Object Attribute feature purpose is to provide a way to define user types of 3D annotations and to define their 3D display.

The recommended usage for such Note Object Attribute feature is the following:

  • The administrator defines all the company types of Note Object Attribute and stores them in a dedicated catalog:
    • Finish Data (paint, special processes)
    • Surface treatment types
    • Grain Direction
    • Key Characteristics
    • Electrical Bonding Location and Specification
    • Part Marking Location and Specification
    • Process Data (Specification for processes)
    • User defined
  • The administrator turns off the Note Object Attribute creation setting (see Tolerancing setting) to lock it in order to forbid the creation of new Note Object Attribute types by users.
  • Users instantiate from the catalog the types of Note Object Attribute they want to specify.

You can filter by type of Note Object Attribute the 3D annotations by using the filter command.

A Note Object Attribute can be applied on:

  • All geometrical elements.
  • PartBody and Body features.
  • The following Part Design features: Pad, Pocket, Shaft, Groove and Hole.

    In Assembly context, links between this annotation and Part Design features, are managed through an engineering connection.

  • Axis systems.
  • User Features.
  • Technological Result features of Part Design Hole feature and User Features.
