00:00.000 --> 00:06.000
In the next few videos, we're going to review keynotes as it applies to annotating detail views.

00:06.000 --> 00:09.000
In this video, we're going to look at keynotes settings.

00:09.000 --> 00:15.000
And alternative to using text to annotate your details, you can use keynotes to streamline the process.

00:15.000 --> 00:21.000
Keynoting allows you to annotate your details and other views using a predefined list of notes.

00:21.000 --> 00:26.000
The notes are organized in a key list, which is why they refer to as keynotes.

00:26.000 --> 00:32.000
However, it is not required that you actually utilize the keys in order to use the keynote functionality.

00:32.000 --> 00:38.000
Now let's go to the annotate tab in the ribbon.

00:38.000 --> 00:44.000
And in the tag panel, let's select this bottom button and select keynoting settings.

00:44.000 --> 00:49.000
The keynotes list is stored in a simple tab, delimited text file,

00:49.000 --> 00:58.000
which you can see the full path here, and the one we're referring to now is BIM 302 keynotes underscore complete.

00:58.000 --> 01:09.000
Let's click the browse button, and let's go ahead and reference the BIM 303 file you've downloaded.

01:09.000 --> 01:13.000
The text file is called BIM 303 keynotes.

01:13.000 --> 01:20.000
Select that and click open. There are three possible path types that you can use to reference your keynote text file.

01:20.000 --> 01:27.000
It can either be absolute, relative, or at library locations.

01:27.000 --> 01:31.000
For absolute, this writes the complete path back to the drive letter.

01:31.000 --> 01:36.000
Relative assumes that the keynote file is located in the same location as the project file,

01:36.000 --> 01:41.000
and therefore only writes the path relative to location in which the project is saved.

01:41.000 --> 01:46.000
I'd recommend using this one and keeping your keynote files with your project files.

01:46.000 --> 01:56.000
And the last option at library locations writes the path relative to locations defined in the files location tab of options dialog.

01:56.000 --> 02:01.000
This is in the application menu.

02:01.000 --> 02:06.000
Click the file locations tab and then click the places button to see and edit the library locations.

02:07.000 --> 02:10.000
The other option here is the numbering method.

02:10.000 --> 02:15.000
You can either do your numbering by keynote or by sheet.

02:15.000 --> 02:21.000
If you set it to by keynote, this is the number that's defined in the text file.

02:21.000 --> 02:28.000
If you set it to by sheet, this is a sequential number relative to each sheet in your document.

02:28.000 --> 02:31.000
And this is the way we've used it in BIM 302.

02:31.000 --> 02:33.000
Let's keep this set to by sheet.

02:33.000 --> 02:37.000
Note that you can only use one of these numbering methods in your project.

02:37.000 --> 02:44.000
So if you want it to reference the keynotes in your text file, it's going to reference the keynotes throughout the entire project.

02:44.000 --> 02:48.000
If you set it to by sheet, it's always going to be relative to the sheet.

02:48.000 --> 02:53.000
Let's click OK and finish setting our keynotes.

02:53.000 --> 02:59.000
In the next video, we're going to look at keynote tags and types in our enlarged elevation.
