Topic: construction notes and bubbles

[MGONZALES]

need some help looking for a lisp routine that will take a list of construction notes from a txt file and place it into a cad drawing numbering all the notes with a bubble around them.
then ask you to place a construction note bubble on the drawing adding a number for each note that may apply to the drawing.
after all is done it will then remove the notes that do not apply and leave the ones that are in the drawing.

i have a avi file that shows how it works, but i do not know how to attach it to this post.

are you doing this with autocad, or do you have C3D available?

I currently work with 2008 autocad and LDD.

one can do this with Land, it's a trick...set up NOTES description key...place your notes as a point, place a legend when done...

well we do a lot of construction work here and we have a lot of construction notes instructing the contractor how to build or layout specific items and we place a construction note bubble with a leader pointing to the items that need to be built as the construction note indicates and may even point them to a specific detail.

We don't really sell much fish around here.  Sometimes someone will get generous and offer a morsal, but that's one big fish you want to land there.

Now, if you want to LEARN how to fish . . .

and that isn't a problem for the method suggested

it gets even better with use of C3D as one can import the txt file that the note is written from with no need to retype
if memory serves... one can also do this in the point label style in LDD as well..

it's a very non standard use of a standard feature

as to pointing to specific details that could be done through sheet set manager and fields then the detail page number is linked to the call out.

Not quite what you are looking for, but might be a helpful starting point or might be useful to someone else. The attached routine will insert Reference Note Bubbles/General Note Bubbles next to Mtext that is already inserted in the drawings. It automatically determines which should be inserted based off of the layer that it is inserted on. I know this was based on an older routine that I found, but I am not sure where, but it has had a lot of updates to make it automatic, I think most of the code was changed, but there might be some small remnants left over.
