is there a way to import a text file into catia V5R9. I like to edit my notes in a text file and import them into catia.

Thanks

Recommended for you

Copy/paste your text from your file into a text zone in your drawing.

Or Insert your text file as an OLE object with or wothout a link (Insert + Object).

Does anyone know how to use the ActivateFram Method in Catia V5R9. The help file says:

o Sub ActivateFrame( CatTextFrameType iType)

Activates the text frame of the drawing text.
Parameters:
iType
The text frame type
Example:
This example add a rectangle frame to MyText drawing text.
CatTextFrameType itype = catRectangle
MyText.ActivateFrame itype

Example:
This example remove the frame to MyText drawing text.
CatTextFrameType itype = catNone
MyText.ActivateFrame itype


But I cannot get the sytax correct or something because the frame never activates
 
Hello,
here is a sample how to use text frame:
Set tText = ThisDrawingTexts.Add(sStamp, 545, 125)
tText.Name = "Stamp"
dAngle = 50#
tText.Angle = dAngle
tText.SetFontSize 0, 0, 5#
tText.SetFontName 0, 0, "Arial"
tText.ActivateFrame catOblong
