Hi,

Below is the sample i am trying to get all note(s) names in a current drawing sheet or drawing sheet name of a selected note but it's not working. Can some one help me in this.

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpen.UF
Imports NXOpenUI
Imports NXOpen.Utilities
Imports NXOpen.Annotations
Imports NXOpen.Drawings

Module GetWordInfo
Dim s As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim ufs As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()
Dim lw As ListingWindow = s.ListingWindow

Sub Main()
Dim dp As Part = s.Parts.Display
Dim nc As NoteCollection = dp.Notes
Dim wp As Part = s.Parts.Work
Dim dwgs As Drawings.DrawingSheetCollection
Dim sheetTag As Tag = Nothing
dwgs = dp.DrawingSheets
Dim notestring() As String
lw.Open()

'Dim laSheet As DrawingSheet = wp.DrawingSheets().CurrentDrawingSheet
'For Each notename As Note In laSheet.Notes
'lw.WriteLine(notename.Name)
'Next

For Each sheet As Drawings.DrawingSheet In dwgs
sheet.Open()
For Each a_note As Note In nc
notestring = a_note.GetText()
lw.WriteLine(sheet.Name & " , " & a_note.DrawingSheetname & " , " & notestring(0) )
Next
Next
end1:
End Sub

Public Function GetUnloadOption(ByVal dummy As String) As Integer
'Unloads the image immediately after execution within NX
GetUnloadOption = NXOpen.Session.LibraryUnloadOption.Immediately
End Function
End Module

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried with the code you have given but getting "nxopen.taggedobject cannot be converted to string." this error. Below is the code i am using, please help me to solve this.

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpen.UF
Imports NXOpen.Utilities

Module Module2

Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim theUfSession As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession
Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work
Dim theUI As UI = UI.GetUI()
Sub Main()

Dim draftingNoteBuilder1 As NXOpen.Annotations.DraftingNoteBuilder
draftingNoteBuilder1 = workPart.Annotations.CreateDraftingNoteBuilder(CType(theUI.SelectionManager.GetSelectedObject(0), NXOpen.Annotations.Note))
Dim nXObject1 As NXOpen.NXObject
nXObject1 = draftingNoteBuilder1.Commit()

AskDrawingSheet(nXObject1)

End Sub

Function AskDrawingSheet(ByVal theObject As TaggedObject) As Drawings.DrawingSheet

Dim theView As View = TryCast(theObject, View)
If Not theView Is Nothing Then
Dim sheetTag As Tag = Nothing
Try
theUFSession.Draw.AskDrawingOfView(theView.Tag, sheetTag)
Return NXObjectManager.Get(sheetTag) ' the drawing it is on

Catch ex As NXException
Return Nothing ' it is a model view
End Try
End If

Dim viewName As String = Nothing
Dim status As Integer = Nothing
Try
theUFSession.View.AskViewDependentStatus(theObject.Tag, status, viewName)
Catch ex As NXException
Return Nothing
End Try
If status = 0 Then Return Nothing ' it is a model mode object

Dim viewTag As Tag = Nothing
theUFSession.View.AskTagOfViewName(viewName, viewTag)
Dim viewType As Integer = Nothing
Dim viewSubtype As Integer = Nothing
theUFSession.View.AskType(viewTag, viewType, viewSubtype)
If viewType = 0 Then Return Nothing ' it is view dependent in a modeling view

Dim drawingTag As Tag = Nothing
theUFSession.Draw.AskDrawingOfView(viewTag, drawingTag)

Dim lw As ListingWindow = theSession.ListingWindow
lw.open()
lw.writeline(NXObjectManager.Get(drawingTag))

Return NXObjectManager.Get(drawingTag) ' the drawing it is on!

End Function

End Module

"AskDrawingSheet" is a function that returns a value, in this case a drawing sheet object. To make use of it, you need to assign the return value to an object of the appropriate type:

Dim theSheet As Drawings.DrawingSheet
theSheet = AskDrawingSheet(nXObject1)

"theSheet" object variable will now hold a reference to the drawing sheet that contains the object (if any). You can access the sheet's objects and methods, such as "theSheet.Name".

Perfect. Tons of thanks once again for the nice explanation NXJournaling.
