Can’t say I’ve ever used notes, but a quick test indicates I can add them in bb or schematic view but not pcb (although someone else may know how). Are you trying to add it to pcb? For bb or schematic I just clicked add note and it brought up a dialog box to add text.
Hmm, on Win 7 and Fritzing .0.9.3 starting Fritzing and selecting bb view (with nothing loaded) then clicking edit–>add note brings up a yellow box that says “[write your note here]” and I can enter text in to that box and it appears as a note in bb.
If this doesn’t work for you, you might try clicking help->enable debugging log
which brings up a window with debug information. It is usually meaningless unless you are a developer, but it may indicate something (such as something can’t run).
Nothing happens when I click on it.
A note interface would be great. Hope I can get it working.
I’m on 0.9.3 and Windows 7
WAIT…
The notes actually were created…they were just over to the right off screen.
When I zoomed out I saw them.
SO COOL!
I will be making a donation to Fritzing VERY soon.
This is a great tool.
All those who worked to create this are amazing people.
