Option to enter note text before or after placing leader

One of the things that annoys me to no end when switching back and forth between CAD applications is the MicroStation Place Note tool. (actually, there are a lot of things about Notes that annoy me)

I know I have the option to place the leader first and drag the text over to where it belongs, or I can place the text first and drag the leader. Either way, I have to type in my text first.

If I forget to type my text first, I am left with no way to add text to the leader.

I would like notes to be more flexible, to allow entering text before or after placing the leader, or to allow text to be added to leaders that were originally placed without text.

  • fully agree. and it would be nice to have a tool to change simple text to note by adding leader(s).

    and bring back the text frame as an option in dialog when placing Note. I do not want to create separate style just for it. what a stupid workflow is that ...
