Notes To Drafter
Tired of keeping track of internal notes in your project? Are you on a deadline and you need to print a whole set without any internal notes showing? This plugin might be the right one for you. Note To Drafter allows you to manage internal notes inside your Revit project.
Start by downloading from the App Store
Navigate to The Toolbelt tab in Revit
Once successfully installed, a Toolbelt tab will be added to your Revit ribbon. Under the Toolbelt tab you will find the Notes To Drafter panel with two buttons; Notes Manager and the Place Note buttons.
Loading the required Revit family
In order for this plugin to work, you need to have the “Toolbelt_Note_To_Drafter” Annotation Symbol family loaded into your Revit project. The first time you click on either one of the plugin’s buttons, it will automatically load that required family in the background. However, if it fails it will give you the option to load it manually.
Place your note instance
To place a new note instance, navigate to the Toolbelt tab and click on the Place Note button. The Place Note dialog offers an easy and fast way to place multiple notes and fill in their parameters.
