Adding names and notes to objects

You can name an object or add a note to it using the Navigation panel. You can also use the Navigation panel to check object names and notes.

Names and notes can be exported as annotations when you export a FreeHand drawing to PDF format. For more information, see Exporting PDF files.

To add a name or note to a selected object:

2

In the Navigation panel, type a name for the object in the Name text box. Names can be up to 26 characters long.

Type a note in the Note text box. Notes can be up to 254 characters long.

Names and notes are applied when you type them. You don't need to press Enter or close the Navigation panel to apply your changes.
