requirement
1. there will be multiple sheets in my Drawing I need the macro to move to the next sheet and update the same in all sheets
 
I got the code from this thread
thread560-330652
 
I can't get it right where should I insert the code
 
Put it below this line:

Code:
Set DrwDocument = CATIA.ActiveDocument

and then copy the content below the line into the loop (but you have to update it slightly)

Code:
For Each drwsheet In DrwDocument.Sheets
     Set drwview = drwsheet.Views.Item(2)

     'msgbox drwviews.item(2).name ////BackgroundView item ID=2 - to find appropriate View
     Set DrwTexts = drwview.Texts
     Set DrwText = DrwTexts.GetItem("Text.1") 
     DrwText.text = "ASDF"
Next

sorry, tesak I'm new to catia VB at this time I can not get the code right I'm having a problem while understanding the code.thanks for helping ill get back to this in some time.
need to learn basics first do you have any idea where can I start? please share if u have any learning material
 
Learning VBA for Microsoft Excel is a great starting point. Many many resources are available, the type of language is the same, and the concepts are the same. As a bonus, you can start to learn to interact between Catia and Excel for some functions.
