suppose you wanted the WALL LEGEND on several sheets, with the SAM you are using the same CAD DETAIL for each view in layout, therefore if you change one, you would change all of them. oooppssss, I think I might of figured out an advantage of the SAM. advantage to the notes in layout would be there was less info in plan (smaller file). as I think about it, I think both methods would work. One thing to keep in mind is it must be easy to quickly update the notes. just so I can see if there is an advantage. I might give the NOES IN LAYOUT METHOD a go. I wish there was someone who has used both methods and was able to explain the pluses and minuses of each system. I use the SAM and it works, Perry uses the NOTES IN LAYOUT and I assume it works. That leaves the SAM and the NOTES IN LAYOUT METHOD. With the LIBRARY METHOD you must bring the notes in everytime.
