You can add comments to a 3D view using the commenting tools in the Comment tab.
- Choose a commenting tool from the Comment tab.
Click inside the 3D canvas to create a comment.
In the Default View of the 3D model or with no existing view selected, adding comments creates a new view in the View pane of the Model Tree, with the default name of “CommentView[n]” ([n] is a number that depends on how many existing Comment views are listed in the View pane. For example, if there are two Comment views before the new view is created, n will be 3.). You can double-click the view name to rename it. The comment will be listed under the created view (as a child of the view), named after the comment author. In front of the name shows the icon of the comment type. Clicking the comment in the View pane to view more information on the comment in the Object Data pane.
If the comment is added to an existing view, the comment will be listed under that view.
- The comment will also be listed in the Comments panel in the navigation pane. You can move, edit, delete, and reply to the comment. See also Chapter 7 – Comment. (You can also delete the comment directly in the View pane of Model Tree.)
Notes:
- The comments added from the Comment tab are associated with the corresponding views. They will be invisible once you switch to another view, but will show again when you switch back to the corresponding view.
- For comments added from the Comment tab, after their associated views are deleted, you can still find them in the Comments panel.
- The Pencil comments added will not be listed under any view and will be always shown until they are deleted.
