Note Manager dialog box
When the Simulation file is the work part, the Note Manager dialog box displays notes that are associated with both the Simulation and FEM files. However, when the FEM file is the work part, the Note Manager dialog box displays only those notes that are associated with the FEM file. This is also true for assembly FEM files.

If you cannot see this information, hover over the note to display the complete text and file name.You can manage a note in this list by right-clicking it and choosing the appropriate command.EditAppears when the note was created when the current part was the work part.Opens the Note dialog box so that you can change the content or format of the note, as well as manage leaders and associated objects.HideHides the note in the graphics window.ShowDisplays the note in the graphics window.DeleteAppears when the note was created when the current part was the work part.Deletes the note.Move to FolderAppears when the note was created when the current part was the work part.Displays the Move Note to Folder group so that you can specify the folder to use for the note or create a new one.You can use the Show and Hide commands on multiple notes simultaneously.
