When would i ever use this?

[[Ro...]]

Ok, to lighten up the room before a holiday (in Murica) weekend.....
I just happened to notice what i believe is the most useless button in all of Calypso, but i could be wrong.
When you open Calypso, on the pop up where you put in your User & Pass there is a "Memo" button, i've never pushed it before.
Today i was feeling adventuristic and pushed it, and a box popped up that allows someone to write a note and make a "Drawring" if they choose.
So my question is, when would i ever use this?

Could this be even more useless than the Undo button?

to communicate with other users?

It's meant for messages and small drawings for your colleague(s) in the next shift.
You log off (without fully closing Calypso) and leave directions of world-saving importance or the floor plan of Dr. Evil's secret base for your successor. 🤣

sometimes while programming crazy jobs and can't finish before a weekend, holiday or vaca, I like to leave a note to remind myself what I was working on. Yeah, old age is like that.

Does anyone use this function?

Yes, sorta! I've trained people how to use it. The one thing that always gets me is the "evasion strategy". Can't figure out how evasion equates to the one I want to use. 🤣

evasion
noun
an act or instance of escaping, avoiding, or shirking something:
evasion of one's duty.
the avoiding of an argument, accusation, question, or the like, as by a subterfuge:
The old political boss was notorious for his practice of evasion.
a means of evading; subterfuge; an excuse or trick to avoid or get around something:
Her polite agreement was an evasion concealing what she really felt.

Tom,

Imagine you have to measure a cylinder on a part after the turning operation.

Now in a subsequent operation a keyway is put in.

Your new strategy is made to evade the keyway.. so there you have it - evasion strategy - so it sort of makes sense in some situations.

That said, when have things ever been labeled right in Calypso? I particularly love 'Nominal Vector Direction' being the checkbox to select to not evaluate some points on curves.

Derek, You are definitely one "out of the box" thinker....LOL
