Create Block description

When I create a sketch block, there is a description area.  After the block is saved, how can I see this information again?  If I right click on the block in the browser, I cant find it anywhere.

Hi karthur1,

 

Edit the sketch block and then right-click anywhere that is not on the sketch entities, and then choose Block Properties.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

I realize this is a very old post, but my coworker just asked the same question today regarding sketch block descriptions.

 

Generally, I use a descriptive block name so that I do not have to use a description.

 

But why bury the information so that it is difficult to view.

 

Would it make sense to see the description if you hover over the block in the browser?

 

Time for an IdeaStation suggestion.
