Adding freehand notes to a drawing

[grain]

Dear All,

 

Is there a method within LT of adding hand notes to a drawing.

[RobDraw]

No, additional software is needed.

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.

Thanks again for the ultra quick responses.

You could always go back to manual drafting.

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.

I happen to like raisins on things...

yehbut, raisins on ugly don't improve the visual none.

I suppose one can always write the note and scan it then drop in the jpg or bmp in the layout

I don't know....I think this CAD thing is going to catch on one of these days.

Is the sketch command available in LT?

[ReMark]

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.

[RobDraw]

I'm curious. How would creating actual text be possible with an electronic pen?

 

(I guess you could do it with an onscreen keyboard.)

[ROBP]

Sketch his a command included in both 2013 & 2015 LT versions

writing with the mouse is a bit ugly tried it

Unfortunately the OP is using LT 2009.

Did not noticed the OP version sorry

 

then op can use handwritten ttf from:

or use the insert scan method described earlier

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]

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.
