How to add random messages to drawing
« on: August 30, 2015, 01:35:54 AM »
I was thinking it would be cool if I could add notes to a drawing that I could review any time I open it... but not sure where I'd have to store them? Looking for a way to do it without text in my drawing.  Anyone know how to do this that can point me in the right direction?

Perhaps do some research on the ExtensionDictionary.
kdub, kdub_nz in other timelines.

Everything will work just as you expect it to, unless your expectations are incorrect.

The application at the link below uses extension dictionaries to add log entries to a drawing and display those log entries on a palette.  I downloaded it when it was free but it seems it costs money now.

In either case it might give you an idea on the direction to go.
