Question

Note Properties Dialog Box (pita)

Scenario:

Creating a text in drawing mode --> "Note Properties" dialog box opens for use.

Begin writing text and need a "Text Symbol". --> need to click on an extra button to open (yet another) dialog box for "Text Symbol" which opens you know where (ie. not near nor within the "Note Properties" dialog box itself.

What a waste and distraction --> extra click to open "Text Symbol", then search for it.

Can't the "Text Symbol" elements be integrated DIRECTLY into the right side of the "Note Properties" dialog box under the button for "Hyperlink.." and then also have the "Text Symbol.." button removed?

It is such a pita to have to make drawing texts like this day in and day with this irritating non-value nonsensical extra work.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

It's like Google Ads. Someone gets paid for generating clicks.

    In Creo 3 and 4 you have access to the symbols while entering text:

    On the other hand, if you edit the text by opening the properties box you will still need to open the symbol list separately.

      in the meantime, you can try to memorize the keyboard shortcut CTRL+A + lowercase letter + CTRL+B; this way you don't even need to waste time with mouse movements and clicks:

      for instance, to put in the diameter symbol : CTRL+A, n, CTRL+B
