Is there a way to flag issues for later attention?

    I periodically have to put a quick model together for sales, and it is
    close to correct, with a few dangling design details I need to
    remember to work out later.

    Is there a way in solidworks to help me remember?

    Thanks

    One very simple way would be to add a "Comment". This is an existing
    SW Function.

    I sometimes put a note with an arrow to the point.

  5. You can add comments to items in the tree, then later run your cursor down
    the tree to see what you have left for later.

    You could try using the design binder

    To display the Design Binder:

    In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the document name, and
    select Hide/Show Tree items.

    In the System Options - FeatureManager dialog box, under Hide/Show
    Tree Items, for Design Binder, select Show.

    Click OK.

    This is a word doc, so you could print it out and keep with the
    project.

    You could create folders in the design tree to collect features that
    need further attention.

    In SW 2008 You can add tags to SW documnets to filter feature manager
    tree. Haven't tried it myself yet but remember seeing it at the
    release party

    You could put unfinished features into folders. That way the "tag" is
    visible right in the feature tree without having to look for comments
    or open the design binder.

    Sorry for double-post. Thought the first didn't go thru.

  11. If you dont' like the other answers, you can add a bunch of #### marks at
    the front or back of the feature name, perhaps with some text to remind you
    of what you need to do.
