These steps helped amazingly and are exactly what I have been looking for this past week. I have been trying to create 3D notes for a while now i managed to get them placed correctly with leaders but not oriented to stay parallel to the screen or viewer so not to end upside down or backwards and always remain readable. And when i did manage to get the notes parallel to the screen or 'flat to screen' it would loose the leader. The leader is important in what i am doing. In my job I am required to update our prts library with many things including '3D flat to screen annotations'. Following your exact steps i did the following to complete the notes.
Start by:
Creating a new Note
Annotate > Annotations > Notes
Name the note accordingly and place somewhere visible attached to a entity
in the model, at this point its not important where its placed beacause it will
be moved and attached at a later step.
Make sure to select from the new menu manager that appears
'with leader' and 'standard normal or tangent leader' click done and place.
Next step is to select the note just created
(L-click to select note R-click for menu options and select > Current Orientation)
You will be prompted with the 'ANNOTATIONS PLANES' menu window make sure to select everything
as shown below. This step will send or move the note to the origin of the model,
Next step is to select the note just created ones again
(L-click to select note R-click for menu options and select > Properties)
This will prompt the 'Notes' menu manager shown below.
Select Mod Attach... > On Entity and select a entity in
the model where you which the note to be place with a leader.
Select Done to complete the step
Then select Move and move accordingly. I recomend to have the model
in standard orientation before moving the note to avoid loosing it in space.
Go to View tab > and in Orientation > select Standard Orientation.
Hope this helped out.
