When the view of a 3D object is changed, any comment associated with that object disappears (right).
If you don’t want a comment to be associated with a 3D view, add the comment outside the 3D object area.

Add a 3D Comment to an object
Comments created by using the 3D Comment Tool are like measurements in that they are associated with a specific
part of the 3D geometry. When you add 3D comments to the default view of a model, a new view, called
3DCommentView is created. 3D comments added to other views are listed as components of that view in the Model
Tree. You can edit and remove 3D comments the same way to edit and remove measurements.
1 Click the Add 3D Comment tool on the 3D toolbar.
2 Select a part of the model you want to add a 3D comment to.
3 In the Enter Comment String dialog box, type your comment.
Add comments from the Comment & Markup toolbar
When you add comments by using the tools on the Comment & Markup toolbar, a new view is created in the Model
Tree called CommentView.
Note: Adobe Reader users can add comments to a PDF if the document author enables commenting for that PDF.
1 Display the Comment & Markup toolbar (Tools > Comment & Markup > Show Comment & Markup Toolbar).
2 Select a commenting tool, and then click inside the 3D object area.
3 Click inside the 3D object area to create a comment. A new view definition is also created in the Model Tree with
a default name such as “CommentView1.”
4 To add more comments, do one of the following:
• To create an additional comment in a view, make sure that the commenting view you want is selected in the Model
Tree. Then click inside the 3D object area.
• To create an additional comment in a new commenting view, make sure that no commenting view is selected in the
Model Tree,. Then click inside the 3D object area.
