Note start location in mm drawing template

How do you move the location where the note starts in a mm drawing template?  In our inch drawing template the note starts where we want (in the upper left corner).  However, in our mm drawing template the note starts in the lower left corner.  It isn't hard to move, but we want it to start in the same place everytime.

 

Thanks!

Turns out this is an issue because absolute coordinates were used to make the mapkey.  I created a second mapkey for mm drawings.  I multiplied the numbers in the inch drawing by 25.4 and that did it.  

 

Additionally, to get this button to show up for others I had to save the .ui file which was a whole other issue.

I don't have a easy way to take a video.  I'll work on that.  We use a custom note system located under the Annotate tab between the Edit group ad the Format group= as seen here.

Hi,

Fluke Tools commands are not part of Creo OOTB functionality.

To get an answer to your original question, you have to contact developers of Fluke Tools commands. I've never heard of them.
