Apply costumer défault to drafting

Hi !
is it possible in a component to check if there are drawings. If so, then select all dimenssions and annotations and update them in function costumer default.

Then check if there is more than one page and if there is more than one page, then do the same thing in the other pages.

Do gave an exemple on VB?

Thank you !

Defaults Preference To Dimension

I found this code on GTAC (nx_api6146), it was in C #, I used a code converter to transfer it in .VB.
However, it has some errors, can you help me to make this code functional?
Best Regards!

re: default preferences

NXJournaling - Tue, 03/26/2019 - 06:47

If the GTAC code does what you want, you can run it directly as a journal. There is no need to convert it to VB first.

I fix it

Pat - Tue, 03/26/2019 - 20:35

Thank you for your answer!

I wanted to convert it since I have no knowledge in C # and I had to adapt the code to my needs.

finally, I managed to make the code work and everything works fine.

It allows to :
-Select the drafting mode,
-Check if there are any Sheets
-Select all dimensions and annotations on each sheet.
-To these selections he applies the customer default.

Best Regards!
