Specifying Note Position from X-Y Coordinates

You can specify the position of a selected note from the Note PropertyManager or select Display on the screen from Parameters.

To specify note position from its on-screen X-Y coordinates:

  1. Select a note.
  2. From the Note PropertyManager, select Display on the screen from Parameters.

    Coordinate fields appear in the graphics area.

  3. Modify the X-Y coordinates for the selected note in the X and Y fields that appear. The (0,0) position is the lower left corner of the drawing sheet.
  4. Click away from the note to close the coordinate fields.

    When you select Display on the screen in the Note PropertyManager after selecting a note, X-Y coordinate fields appear on the drawing for all notes you subsequently select.
