Hi all,

I am trying to add a TabularNoteTemplate to a drawing sheet with a journal.
At this moment the tables are in my Palettes so they can be added manually but I want them to be placed with 1 button click on the correct location in the drawing sheet.
I tried to record the placement of the table but adding the table from my Palettes is not recorded.
Does anyone have a journal exaple how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

I would like a solution to this as well :-)

After some more investigations I found that I need a Tabular Note Section to be added to my drawing. I cannot use a Parts List Section.

If you need to create a tabular note at a specific location, have a look at:

In the code there is a function called CreateTabnoteWithSize that will do it. I think that I borrowed that code from GTAC? If I were to revisit it, I'd make a few changes, but it seems to work.

Thank you for the link.
But I don't want to create a tabular note. I would add an existing tabular note onto the drawing.

Best Regards

Have you tried the UF_TABNOT_create_from_template (.net wrapper: .CreateFromTemplate) function? It will add a tabular note from a template file at a specified location.

I'm not a fan of the new programming help documentation, I can't find a way to link directly to the function definition. If you open the link below and search for "CreateFromTemplate", it will be among the first results.
