Re: Surface finish in general notes favorite does not work.
Can you drag the note with surface finish into the design library and save it as an annotation or block?
Be sure to put in an enhancement request if that functionality is important to you.
Cheers,
Anna

Re: Surface finish in general notes favorite does not work.
Thanks for the Ideal but just tried it and no luck. After going back and for with the VAR he is checking to make sure it is working as designed. Once you saved a style with the surface finish in a drawing it will work in that drawing but not a new one. I’m just surprised I’m the only one with a surface finish in the general notes. We have a few different ones we use so we don’t put it in the title block.

Re: Surface finish in general notes favorite does not work.
Toby,
How is the surface finish inserted into the note?
I just tried it saving is a favorite like you described and I got the same results.
What I did just try and it worked was saving it out as a block. When inserted as a block
you can double click on the block and edit the text.

Re: Surface finish in general notes favorite does not work.
Right now we insert annotations, note. In the text format area next to the insert geometric tolerance button is the insert surface finish symbol button. This is what I used to create the general note. Then saved it as a style.
Ok now this is very strange. When I save a block that is a note with just the surface finish, no text in the note, it works no problem. If I add all the text of the general notes and the surface finish. When I insert the block into a new drawing the surface finish does not show up. If I explode the block the surface finish then shows up.
At this point all I can do is see what my VAR comes back with. I think this is a bug if not then I will put in an enhancement request. Then just keep doing what I have been doing. When I insert the note hope I remember to fix the surface finish.

Re: Surface finish in general notes favorite does not work.
That's weird, because when I created the block with the text, the surface symbol everything showed up when reinserted.
I even went as far as to save the block to my desktop and insert it into a new drawing and again everything showed up.
I was working in 2011. What version are you running? Are you running the latest service pack?
