Feature Request - Comments against components

[Jools-Taylor]

Just wondered if you guys could put a bit of time into the comments on the design section. Currently it just logs a comment against the whole assembly. It would be cool if it logged it against each component. 

I only work alone but would like to leave myself design notes like 'did this for this reason' or 'designed this way expect to manufacture with a vice for 1op and a vacuum fixture for two op'. That way if I was away from a particular project for a while I'd be able to drop back in and understand my thinking. Currently I can't do that.

A bit like how when coding you'd document each line of code, rather than just the whole program.

Cheers

I am puzzled at your request since you already have this ability in Fusion 360.  In the attached video I demonstrate this ability. Notice in the video that when I review the comments, the component I am reading about actually highlights in the assembly.

Hey John
Thanks for showing that functionality. 

The issue with that is that it's not really searchable. (or I don't know how to search it). Say you have 300 pieces in one assembly. You click on the tree on the left and you look at it and wonder why it looks so strange (you forgot why you designed it that way). How do you then find that comment in the comments? 
My way I imagine would work that when you clicked on a component to activate it then the comments section would only be comments on that component. If you wanted notes on the whole assembly then you could activate that.

Hi,

I like your Model. I only recently discovered what a Scotch Yoke is, now I have seen one.

Cheers

Thanks, I love to model desktop steam engines.  They make great demo and training material.  My model really does not have a Scott Yoke in the truest definition. It functions the same way though.
