1. check what property this has been linked to

Open the part and look for the matching note in the File Properties
-or-
Open the drawing and then Edit Sheet Format and hover the cursor over the note.

2. link if it is not linked to the desire property.

Dear CorBlimeyLimey

Thanks for the reply.
I would like to know how to achieve it through macro (VBA)

Are you asking what specific VBA function to use, or do you need someone to write the whole thing for you?

If the former,

Hi handleman

yes you are right.

i need to set the value of a note to a attribute if it is not linked to it.
getting the linked property is ok but how to set it.

If you set the text to the same thing that's returned by PropertyLinkedText, it will link automatically.
