Design SuiteNotes management with databases

Instead of manually typing the text for every callout or keynote and general notes object, text that is used repeatedly—by one or many users—across projects and files can be stored in a tab-delimited text file (referred to as a "database"). The use of a database for storing notes saves time and prevents errors, and standardizes compliant notes usage across files.

There is no limit to the number of databases that can be used for annotating a drawing. The databases can have an unlimited number of notes of any length. After placement, notes can be easily updated if changes are made to a database.
