            Thank you  Nilesh  but this link is use full for part document and i am working on drawing document but it's not help full for finding arrow head coordinate or not mention how to detect position of arrow head

            Actually i have all ready find  all annotation in drawing document  but unable to find coordinate of individual annotation  because i need to create bounding box for arrowhead

            i was used :    ThisAnn = DisplayDimension.GetAnnotation();

                                         double[] pt =ThisAnn.GetPosition();

                                          x = pt[0];

                                         y =  pt[1];

                                        z=  pt[2];

            but its not sufficient for detecting arrow head coordinate or position

                Have a look at the attached macro:

                 

                Option Explicit


Sub main()


    Dim swApp          As SldWorks.SldWorks
    Dim swModel        As ModelDoc2
    Dim swSelMgr        As SelectionMgr
    Dim swSelData      As SelectData
    Dim swDraw          As DrawingDoc
    Dim swView          As View
    Dim swAnn          As Annotation
    Dim vLeaderPt      As Variant
    Dim nbrLeaders      As Long
    Dim nNumPts        As Integer
    Dim i              As Integer
    Dim j              As Integer
    Dim k              As Integer


    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
    Set swSelMgr = swModel.SelectionManager
    Set swSelData = swSelMgr.CreateSelectData
    Set swDraw = swModel
   
    Set swView = swDraw.GetFirstView
    Do While Not Nothing Is swView
        Set swAnn = swView.GetFirstAnnotation3
        Do While Not swAnn Is Nothing


            Debug.Print "  Annotation name: " & swAnn.GetName
            Debug.Print "  Annotation type (enumerator numeric value): " & swAnn.GetType
           
            If True = swAnn.GetLeader Then


                nbrLeaders = swAnn.GetLeaderCount
                For i = 0 To swAnn.GetLeaderCount - 1
                    If True = swAnn.GetBentLeader Then
                        nNumPts = 3
                    Else
                        nNumPts = 2
                    End If
                    swAnn.Select3 False, swSelData
                   
                    vLeaderPt = swAnn.GetLeaderPointsAtIndex(i)
                    If Not IsEmpty(vLeaderPt) Then
                        Dim leaderPt() As Double
                        ReDim leaderPt(nNumPts) As Double
                        leaderPt = vLeaderPt
                        k = 0
                        For j = 0 To UBound(leaderPt)
                            Debug.Print "    Pt[" & k & "] x,y,z coordinates:"
                            Debug.Print "      " & Str(leaderPt(j) * 1000) & ", " & Str(leaderPt(j + 1) * 1000) & Str(leaderPt(j + 2) * 1000)
                            j = j + 2
                            k = k + 1
                        Next j
                    End If
                Next i
            End If


            Set swAnn = swAnn.GetNext3
        Loop
        Set swView = swView.GetNextView
    Loop
End Sub
