Replace one annotation with another on multiple drawings

3D Design Volume Model

Hello,

I've been asking myself this question for a while about whether it's possible.

In a drawing I have an annotation "GOOD FOR CONSULTATION" I would like to know by what means (as simple as possible) can this annotation be changed by "GOOD FOR MANUFACTURE"?

I explain myself in one or two drawings, no worries, I already have the annotations on the side, I delete the ''GOOD FOR CONSULTATION'' and I put the ''GOOD FOR MANUFACTURE'' on the plan, except that for 200 plans I have to do this task 200 times........

I was thinking of a macro but I don't really see how to structure it (very little touched macros on solidworks)?

Thank you.

Maybe with a macro?

Hello

I don't have Solidworks on hand but maybe the task scheduler can help you.

Hello

There is the function in the Integration tool of the myCADtools suite

http://www.lynkoa.com/store/mycadfr/mycadtools.html

Integration is a tool that allows you to perform bulk actions on SolidWorks files.

Extract from the documentation:

Operation: Edit the text of a note

This allows you to modify a portion of a note in the drawing.

Example : Replaces the text of the note "AF1523" with "NF1523" on all selected drawings.

 

As a fallback, you can use the following statements:

 

<FileName>, to display the name of the document.

<PathName>, to view the full path of the document.

$Nom of the property, to display a property value of the document (if the property name contains a space, use %20% to replace that space).

<Configuration>, to display the name of the current current configuration.

<Date>, to display the date.

<Time>, to display the time.

<NewLine>, to line up

Nickel prossignol is exactly what I was looking for, I have browsed a little indeed you can do a lot of things with it.

 

I tried to find without success how to change the color of the note, like it's red at the beginning to change it to green, do you have an idea ?

Hello

To add colors: 

Red: <FONT COLOR=0x000000FF >GOOD FOR MANUFACTURING

Green: <FONT color=0x0000FF00 >GOOD FOR MANUFACTURING

A+

Nickel it's perfect thank you;) 

Where can we find these lines there for all the other colors?

I deviate a little from the subject, can't we print a drawing with integration (I haven't found this operation)? 

I was originally using batch converter to export PDF/DXF/STEP and paper here for the time being I grouped all on several lines with integration I just miss the printing.

Hello

  • For printing you have an operation in the Document group -> Print Document

After that, there are no options like in PowerPrint.

FYI, you can use the search tool to find the operations or conditions more easily:

 

  • For colors, in fact it's only that SolidWorks notes accept HTML codifications

So we can add more.

<FONT size=8 name="Arial" color=0x00FF0000 Style="Bold">Line 1

To find another color go to the site and get the Hex code http://www.proftnj.com/RGB3.htm

then replace the part in bold: color=0x00FF0011

The only problem is that SolidWorks has reversed the R V B (R:FF V:00 B11)  and that you have to find the right order

Well done, I had done a search ''print'' while the command is ''print'' so I couldn't find it.

Indeed I didn't know the manipe for the color again thank you for your explanations it's clear and precise.
