I make custom parts for Trucks, but I often start from previous versions. I wish there was a way to leave a post it notes on a model. It would be so handy for reminders or highlighting critical details. I do recall seeing an engineer’s note somewhere, but don’t recall it being the right tool I am dreaming of here. Have any of you found anyway to leave your future self-detail notes on models. ---

You can add comments to individual features or use the Design Journal for all sorts of info. ---

I use the summary area to leave notes, like where the file was downloaded from. You can use this. ![image](https://forum.cadmunity.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9fbdb4a63f8ae03cd961ad99d7020b5fbb15a357.png) I tried using the design binder to update a word document for some of this but either I lost the part or the design binder file in earlier versions and just kind of gave up using that because I would think I added info there and when I would get back to the part it would not be there. ---

As mentioned, Comment on top of tree and set to open comment on opening file: ![image](https://forum.cadmunity.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ebc23a2bd3ebb7a376c91f954c3c8c6d03618530.png) Or you could insert a “Notes Area” under Annotations. Then set it to Show on Open. This way is more finicky though and you have to make sure “View” top level annotation is on. ![image](https://forum.cadmunity.com/uploads/default/original/2X/1/11be1f7dcd5edf2ac82733553e5808b33c0f0f0b.png) ---

I have a few library Parts that I just attached notes to. It’s easy enough to hide it when it’s no longer needed. ![image](https://forum.cadmunity.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/31a10b35145549a93c17285ab5ac580ae7c6c0d2.png)
