Is there a way to add comments in Blocks?

[TiStars]

Hi guys,

When I work on a new Dynamic block, sometimes I need to calculate a "Distance multiplier" for a Stretch Action.  Usually it comes from a very complicated formula . I'd like to write down the original formula somewhere inside the block instead of just a float number like -0.35115330 , which can remind me later where the number -0.35115330 comes from.

For example, I need a Distance multiplier of 0.xxx-xxxxxxxx, which comes from TAN(5.625). I'd like to write down TAN(5.625) near the Distance multiplier.

Thanks for any idea/answer,

Sure.  There are a few ways.  If you want the comments visible in model space but non-plotting then place them on a layer that does not plot (e.g. defpoints).  If you don't want them visible in model space then you can add a visibility parameter and a visibility state for the comments.  Set the text object(s) to only be visible in that state or if you are already using the visibility parameter, set them to be invisible in all states and to see them hit the button so all objects are visible.

Thanks Libbya,

I will choose Text object + visibility parameter, then set "Show Properties" to "No"  & set "Number of Grips" to "0"

since I don't want users get confused by comments without entering inside Blocks.

A layer is also good idea though.

Thanks again!
