For example:
• You could note DR-K1-a next to a pocket door on a plan where you need to make sure that 48 inches (1220 mm) of space is provided for a front approach to that door.
• You can also list notations this way on a note pad or enter them into a spreadsheet on a laptop computer for easy reference later.
