Hey guys,

I'm just beginning to use macros to simplify my work.

A note needs to be added on some prototype drawings which mentions the current date.

I tried creating a macro by recording it and then trying to edit it but it was unsuccessful.

Kindly advise.

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

boolstatus = Part.ActivateView("Drawing View3")

boolstatus = Part.ActivateSheet("Sheet1")

Part.FONTBOLD True

Part.FontPoints 22

Dim myNote As Object

Dim myAnnotation As Object

Dim myTextFormat As Object

Set myNote = Part.InsertNote("<FONT color=0x000000ff><FONT size=22PTS style=B>FOR PROTO BUILD ONLY" + Chr(13) + Chr(10) + _

        "07SEP18")

If Not myNote Is Nothing Then

   myNote.LockPosition = False

   myNote.Angle = 0

   boolstatus = myNote.SetBalloon(0, 0)

   Set myAnnotation = myNote.GetAnnotation()

   If Not myAnnotation Is Nothing Then

      longstatus = myAnnotation.SetLeader3(swLeaderStyle_e.swNO_LEADER, 0, True, False, False, False)

      boolstatus = myAnnotation.SetPosition(0.308895790590732, 0.339959288537549, 0)

      Set myTextFormat = Part.GetUserPreferenceTextFormat(0)

      myTextFormat.Italic = False

      myTextFormat.Underline = False

      myTextFormat.Strikeout = False

      myTextFormat.Bold = True

      myTextFormat.Escapement = 0

      myTextFormat.LineSpacing = 0.001

      myTextFormat.CharHeightInPts = True

      myTextFormat.TypeFaceName = "Arial Narrow"

      myTextFormat.WidthFactor = 1

      myTextFormat.ObliqueAngle = 0

      myTextFormat.LineLength = 0

      myTextFormat.Vertical = False

      myTextFormat.BackWards = False

      myTextFormat.UpsideDown = False

      myTextFormat.CharSpacingFactor = 1

      boolstatus = myAnnotation.SetTextFormat(0, False, myTextFormat)

   End If

End If

Part.ClearSelection2 True

Part.WindowRedraw

End Sub
