 '''Notes''' can be attached to the part design project using the note button [[File:notes.png]]. Notes are saved with the part and are included on the part's setup sheet.
-The '''auto-zoom''' option can be turned on or off using the auto-zoom button [[File:autozoom.png]]. When activated, auto-zoom will zoom in or out to accommodate the size of the part. For example, if a length is originally 200 and is changed to 2000, it may extend past the part display's extend. Auto-zoom will zoom out to make sure the whole part is visible.
