Add Notes to Shapes
When you are working on a diagram (like a flowchart, or an org chart, or an office floor plan) wouldn’t it be nice to be able add notes to yourself without cluttering up your drawing? For example: a reminder to get more information from a coworker for your flowchart, or a list likely candidates for the open position on your org chart, or even the phone number for your favorite office furniture supplier for your floor plan. Well, with SmartDraw now you can!
And these private notes only show up when you mouse over the object, and will not print or be included exported PDFs or when you transfer to other programs.
Here’s how to add sticky notes to shapes in 4 easy steps:
Step 1
Select the object to which you’d like to attach a note.
Step 2
Click on the “Note” Button located on the Insert tab in the toolbar.
Step 3
Type your note into the note text box that appears. Format your text anyway you like with the text formatting tools.
Step 4
Click anywhere outside your note box and the note will disappear. To view your note, simply mouse over the “sticky note” icon that is now present on the shape.
