The text of the keynote or annotation is displayed in a tooltip. Re-Keynoting Use this procedure to change a keynote so that it references a different keynote. The new keynote can be from the same database as the original or from a different one. 1 Select the keynote, right-click, and click Re-Keynote. 2 Select the keynoted object, or press ENTER if the keynote does not apply to a specific object. 3 In the Select Keynote dialog box, select the keynote you want to use, and then click OK. The new keynote is added to the drawing in place of the old one. Note that the change is not reflected in keynote legends that include the original keynote. If the new keynote is from the same database as the original one, you can update any associated keynote legends by adding and deleting individual entries. However, if different databases are involved, you must regenerate keynote legends for each of them. In any case, if you have performed more than a few re-keynotings, it may be preferable to use the Reselect option on the keynote legend context menu, or to regenerate the keynote legend. See "Generating a Keynote Legend" on page 1965 and "Reselecting Keynotes for a Keynote Legend" on page 1966. Editing Keynotes Use the following procedure to edit a keynote after it has been inserted into a drawing. You cannot directly edit the key or the note, but you can add text before or after the keynote using the Multiline Text Editor, and you can change the keynote or its format using the Field dialog box. 1 Double-click the keynote (or select it, right-click, and click Mtext Editor) to display the Multiline Text Editor. Multiline Text Editor 2 Add text before or after the keynote, or double-click the keynote to change the format or specify a different keynote using the Field dialog box (see "Inserting or Editing an AEC Keynotes Field" on page 1960). 3 Click OK to close the Field dialog box, if necessary. 4 Click OK on the toolbar or click anywhere in the drawing area to close the Multiline Text Editor and implement your changes. NOTE You can also add automatically updatable fields (such as a date and time stamp or other project information) before or after the keynote by right-clicking and clicking Insert Field. Changing Keynote Formats Keynotes can be displayed in three formats: key only, note only, or both key and note. When using both keys and notes, you can also specify the typographical device used to separate the key from the note (for example, key - note as opposed to key:note). You can change keynote formats individually or globally within a single drawing. For example, you may want to display both keys and notes while you are keynoting a drawing, but display only keys when you finish. Changing Individual Keynote Formats Use this procedure to change the format of a keynote that has been inserted in a drawing. 1 Double-click the keynote to display the Multiline Text Editor.

The text of the keynote or annotation is displayed in a tooltip.

Re-Keynoting

Use this procedure to change a keynote so that it references a different keynote. The new keynote can be from the same

database as the original or from a different one.

Select the keynote, right-click, and click Re-Keynote.

Select the keynoted object, or press

ENTER

if the keynote does not apply to a specific object.

In the Select Keynote dialog box, select the keynote you want to use, and then click OK.

The new keynote is added to the drawing in place of the old one. Note that the change is not reflected in

keynote legends that include the original keynote. If the new keynote is from the same database as the

original one, you can update any associated keynote legends by adding and deleting individual entries.

However, if different databases are involved, you must regenerate keynote legends for each of them. In any

case, if you have performed more than a few re-keynotings, it may be preferable to use the Reselect option

on the keynote legend context menu, or to regenerate the keynote legend. See

“

Generating a Keynote

Legend

”

on page 1965 and

“

Reselecting Keynotes for a Keynote Legend

”

on page 1966.

Editing Keynotes

Use the following procedure to edit a keynote after it has been inserted into a drawing. You cannot directly edit the

key or the note, but you can add text before or after the keynote using the Multiline Text Editor, and you can change

the keynote or its format using the Field dialog box.

Double-click the keynote (or select it, right-click, and click Mtext Editor) to display the Multiline Text

Editor.

Multiline Text Editor

Add text before or after the keynote, or double-click the keynote to change the format or specify a different

keynote using the Field dialog box (see

“

Inserting or Editing an AEC Keynotes Field

”

on page 1960).

Click OK to close the Field dialog box, if necessary.

Click OK on the toolbar or click anywhere in the drawing area to close the Multiline Text Editor and

implement your changes.

NOTE

You can also add automatically updatable fields (such as a date and time stamp or other project information) before

or after the keynote by right-clicking and clicking Insert Field.

Changing Keynote Formats

Keynotes can be displayed in three formats: key only, note only, or both key and note. When using both keys and

notes, you can also specify the typographical device used to separate the key from the note (for example, key - note as

opposed to key:note).

You can change keynote formats individually or globally within a single drawing. For example, you may want to display

both keys and notes while you are keynoting a drawing, but display only keys when you finish.

Changing Individual Keynote Formats

Use this procedure to change the format of a keynote that has been inserted in a drawing.

Double-click the keynote to display the Multiline Text Editor.
