Hello, is it possible to assign a specific name to a note in a basemap? 

 

Allowing then with a macro to find it and modify the value :)

Hello

It is possible to know the name of a note, see this answer:

Why not create a custom property in the drawing instead.

It's much easier to find and modify.

Thank you .PL and flegendre for your feedback.

.PL thank you for the links I already had some and thank you for the last ones that I didn't know

flegendre the objective is to manage revision lines namely five mini on each page of the plan or in the property sa means five index line plus five date line plus five revision reason line and finally five line of which user makes the modification 

 

The objective is to have a userform like the attachment:

Do you find it annoying to manage several properties?

This can be completely transparent to your users.

See below: on the left table of changes properties filling.

flegendre tell me more? Where can I find this function? 

I have created a form in the editor but how do I retrieve it in solidworks?

What I showed you on the left is a utility developed by Axemble (Smartproperties). But you can do without and do it through the form editor.

If you have properties in your files (preferably part or assembly and not drawing), you can make them appear in notes.

 

Example:

All the notes below are retrieved automatically and come from the properties of the part.

 

How to do it:

  • Create a note
  • Click on the "Link to Property" icon
  • Check "Model in the specified view........ "
  • Choose the property to display
