Macro force notes in red

Hello

With a macro I insert an existing annotation in a library.

I would like this annotation to be red, to do this I think I need to put the line color palette in red.

 

 

Know the command calling this function?

 

Thank you in advance for your feedback

Hello

A silly question, but why not put your note directly in red and re-record it.

That's what I thought, but it doesn't work, it's the palette that determines the color.

FYI, I thought of this command swDraw.SetLineColor, but it's not this one that controls the color of the palette.

Set swDraw = swModel
swDraw.SetLineColor RGB(255, 0, 0)

Hello

You have the option to create a red layer, and place your annotation in this new layer.

Hello

For my part, I create layers for each piece of information I want on my plan

It's much simpler

Via the macro I place the annotation in a red layer.

However, by macro it is the color selected in the choice palette that drives the color

Good evening

You have to select the red color and check "Default". Just put the notes in this layer at the end.

Edit: Having previously activated the layer.

Hello

Check out this post and read it to the end, you should find some things that can help you, including a function that allows you to create a red layer if it doesn't exist and add an annotation to it.

Kind regards

Here is the rest of the subject:

To complete D.Roger's answer and I also  confirm for the colors to be applied, it is imperative that the default box is checked.

And so insert the note into a layer of the right color.

Hello everyone and thank you for your answers.

Is it possible to enable or disable this "Default" checkmark via a macro?

 

Thank you

Can the "Default" box be checked by default?

Solidworks option? Macro?

Hello

Normally default is checked when you put a color on a layer. He is the one who is driving, you have to uncheck to be able to put another color in the same layer.

The problem is that I don't have an automatic checkmark by default.

I can't find where this is set in the Solidworks options.

I'm in Solidworks 2017

This is set in the file template, but normally the default is checked when creating a layer (visible only by placing a note or a line and selecting the "line color" tool), the color of the lines/notes is set by default by the color of the layer.

If someone has unchecked for a particular note, it doesn't disable for the rest of the layer.

If nothing is selected, this tool displays a default setting of SW that I know of, but which is not related to the layer setting.

Edit: Regardless of the version of SW it seems to me that it has been working this way since at least 2003/2004. I'm on SW2019

I found the answer to my question, it's the palette that drives the colors and not an option in solidworks.

For the palette to be on default, you need nothing selected -> click on "default" -> Click on OK.
