It would be greater to add the post-it note as part of the status bar tray icons, so that when you open AutoCAD it pops up as balloon message.

Re: Post it Note *
In outlook you have something called notes, which are similar to post it notes. I use them on a regular bases and you can save them.
Re: Post it Note *
But can you associate them with a specific drawing?
(I'm thinking notes for if someone else has to go into the drawing)

Re: Post it Note *
I have been using this Post it Note a little more that a month now. It is great to be able to have it open and jot down what was change in the drawing. Before I would write them down on paper and it would get lost or I would make a mental not and for get it. It also helped when I was asked what was changed and if it had any problems with it.
Has anyone ever happen to you when you are working on a project?
Thank you
Re: Post it Note *
I have been using the Post it note for a while now and I really like it. I would like to see this as part of AutoCAD.
Thank you,

Re: Post it Note *
I think the whole note thing is a great idea. But I think any one specific way is too limiting. I think the taskbar idea is good but maybe it should simply alert you that there are notes in the drawing and let's you "see" them or not. The big yellow post-it square is also good but only for a general type of list. You can't point to anything with a big post-it. Having the ability to point to a specific area would be fantastic but do you layer control it? color control it? etc... I think it would be best to turn that one into little flashing icons (with a no-plot OPTION). It would be very easy to see them if they were little red sirens flashing on the screen that we could turn off if too annoying. When you hover over them, a balloon expands with a note or list.
If AutoCAD could combine all three aspects listed above (taskbar notification, post-it notes, and flashing indicators) that would be fantastic.
And then, to top it all off, have the capability to produce some sort of report with all the notes.
Re: Post it Note *
Why stop there ... These notes should also be available to the sheet set manager to allow notes to reference more than one drawing within the set, or so that all the notes from the entire set can be reported on.
I just think that the real benefit of these types of "sticky notes" will be realized if they can be used to some degree as a project management tool.
Just a CAD Managers 2 cents ...
