More Help topics "Enable commenting for Reader users" on page 140 "Commenting" on page 150 Add a 3D Comment to an object Comments created by using the 3D Comment Tool are like measurements in that they are associated with a specific part of the 3D geometry. When you add 3D comments to the default view of a model, a new view, called 3DCommentView is created. 3D comments added to other views are listed as components of that view in the Model Tree. You can edit and remove 3D comments the same way to edit and remove measurements. 1 Click the Add 3D Comment tool on the 3D toolbar. 2 Select a part of the model you want to add a 3D comment to. 3 In the Enter Comment String dialog box, type your comment.
