Notepad in onshape?

erik_bongers

Is there a notepad app for onshape? Or featurescript?
I'd like to have a tab with a big textfield that I can use for ideas, todo's,...
Currenly I'm using a drawing with a big text field, but that's a bit of a hack.
If not, can I program an app or feature for that for personal use?
In order to create a tab, you need to create an app, right? Featurescripts cannot create separate tabs?

You can use featurescript tab, just add one and type text as code comments inside

<div>/*</div><div>multiline_comments</div><div>*/ </div>

or

//single_line_comment

You can also use the excellent Link Tab (by @lougallo ) from the App Store here: https://appstore.onshape.com/apps/Utilities/DFE73AMQ42NPMVAEQBQVP56QGLCWJ4ALJUBEBLA=/description

Allows a Google doc to live in your Onshape Document. Works just like you would like, but has the added benefit of being a live Google doc available outside your OS doc too.

Thanks @romeo_graham392 and @konstantin_shiriazdanov, both suggestions are great.
(featurescript tab...should have thought of that...)
