I'm creating a macro to scan the notes in a view inside a drawing. Say I want the macro to bring to my attention all the notes with text containing some specific word.
I've found `ShowBubbleTooltipAt2` which almost does what I wanted except it takes in x,y position relative to the window and not the drawing.
So my questions are:
- Is there a way to get a note's position that is not relative to the drawing but Solidwork's window instead?
- Or is there another way to show popup notes than can point to notes? Preferably something with a message and an arrow pointing to said note.
I know I can put in annotations to the drawing or change the note's TextFormat instead, but if possible, I want something that can't be saved into the drawing or is temporary.
What do you mean by "to the drawing but Solidwork's window instead?"
Notes positions are relative to the sheet origin.
Regarding your second question, I'm not really sure if it's possible. A good alternative would be to apply a red colored layer to the annotations that match your search criteria.
Best,
Amen
