    Default Objects auto annotating themselves.

    (warning this is a random thought, totally unresearch)

    Ok, I was sitting in class yesterday learning about keynotes, not really paying attention because we don't use them. The intructor, almost in passing, showed us the three tag options, with a box, without a box, and text instead of numbers. Whoa, all of a sudden I was paying rapt attention and scribbling furiously in my notebook. Text instead of the numbers? I started having a fantasy about never having to annotate a set ever again, which is probablly my least favorite thing to do in acad. In my fantasy a little upfront legwork assigning information to materials, and playing around with the family, and I could account for 90 percent of notes that may come up, and be able to willy nilly add notes just by touching things in my drawing. Even better, I could "gasp" have a note in more than one place in a set and never have to worry if I found them all when it changed.

    So, I know I am not the first person to think this would be very cool, is there a good blog or post where I can read about what others are doing along these lines? I think detail components would be the tricky part? Thanks for any help or thoughts.

    On the right side, just above the first post, there's a "Search this
    Forum" dropdown where you can search for "keynotes".

    Here's some of the results:

    Nice puffy! I am not very focused today either. Thanks for the links, I was just sitting down to browse through old posts to see if I could get a handle on how the gurus maximize their Reviteering efficiancy.
