Macro acting like replace text function ( in catdrawings )

[Olivia86]

Is there any macro comand that works like the replace function in catdrawing? the problem is that

DrwTexts.GetItem is not getting some text if is not isolated.

And the

selection1.Search

function as well is not finding items if they are not isolated.

What i would like to achieve is to change all the string found in the entire drawing.

Hi

Maybe you have a specific case, it would be good to have a drawing sample.

Hi ferdo, yes i need to change the text on this instatiated 2d detail. I'm attaching the catdrawing. I cant get any function or code to point at this except for the search-replace method.

You can find the catdrawing here

Hi

You need to search and assign a value to a specific text name in your 2D component.

I need to edit the sheet.1 detail without editing the father.

As you see in your pictures you are pointing to the detail not at the sheet.

 

[ferdo]

Yes, and this will modify also the ditto in Sheet.1.

This is not the case unfortunately. In fact usually you mantain the detail text unchanged and you edit the sheet instatiated text related to the part present in the sheet. To do so you have to put your text as "Modifiable in istance" In fact materials, names, and codes changes on every sheet. So what i'm trying to do is edit the text in the sheet without touching the detail. I have a macro that achieves this tasks but it's an exe given by our client, and it works only with their template, so i'm sure it can be done. But i think is more challenging than it seems.
