RobDraw Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 No, additional software is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grain Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Rob, That is hand notes with an electronic pen? ( I don't want to use a script font.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Rob, That is hand notes with an electronic pen? ( I don't want to use a script font.) Look at the comma placement. The answer is "No, (pause) Additional software is needed." You will have to create the notes in another program, and then imageattach or copyclip, or xref them to your drawing.

Dana W Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I have a touch screen. I can write notes with LINE and a fingertip, but it takes forever and its ugly with raisins on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBP Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Dear All, Is there a method within LT of adding hand notes to a drawing. I suppose one can always write the note and scan it then drop in the jpg or bmp in the layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirltech Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 You could always go back to manual drafting. I don't know....I think this CAD thing is going to catch on one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Is there a method within LT of adding hand notes to a drawing. That is hand notes with an electronic pen? ( I don't want to use a script font.) Is the sketch command available in LT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I don't believe Sketch was ever included in LT. I'd use a freehand or architectural font as it would be a lot easier in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm curious. How would creating actual text be possible with an electronic pen? (I guess you could do it with an onscreen keyboard.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBP Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Sketch his a command included in both 2013 & 2015 LT versions writing with the mouse is a bit ugly tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBP Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Unfortunately the OP is using LT 2009. Did not noticed the OP version sorry then op can use handwritten ttf from: http://www.1001fonts.com/handwritten-fonts.html or use the insert scan method described earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The OP wants to use an electronic pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBP Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The OP wants to use an electronic pen. Wacom then but they don't go for cheap Question remains I do not think your can write in the paper space tab only in the model space then again size is 1:1 I guess after many attemps OP will have the exact text size I remember using may years back but not for handwriting but contours.

RobDraw Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It's hard to tell with the limited information being provided by the OP but I envisioned that the hand writing would be for marking up the drawings at a meeting or in the field for input by the CAD guy. I don't imagine that text height (or style) would be a concern otherwise they would be using the tools available. Now, if they are looking to create stuff that will appear on the submission documents by writing with an electronic pen, that's a different story altogether. That would be quite a trick.
