If you have ideias you would like to implement, please feel free to contact me.

I lost interest since my company is moving to Pro-E but I was developing a userform/macro to add common/required drawing notes. I wanted it based on an excel sheet others could add to or edit without any VBA experience.

The sequence I had was:

[ol 1]
[li]Launch my main userform[/li]
[li]Click an "Add notes" command button which launched a notes only userform(mainly to keep my main userform relatively compact)[/li]
[li]I was experimenting with toggles, radio buttons, and combo-boxes. such as: the first combo-box would select the type of component i.e. sheet metal, plastic, machined casting, gasket, brazed asy, etc. This would then populate additional comb-boxes/toggles/radio button choices for notes. also a text box for user generated notes.[/li]
[li]Check for existing notes previously added with macro[/li]
[li]Insert a, new, named textbox within a, new, named view on the drawing (So I could get it later for any edits)[/li]
[li]Add notes/additional text, based on the excel file, in the correct size, font, and format based on user selection/input[/li]
[li]position the view correctly depending on sheet size[/li]
[/ol]
 
Also on my To Do List

[ol 1]
[li]Populate title block material field based on the applied 3D material.[/li]
[li]Populate title block weight field based on applied 3D material (solid models)[/li]
[/ol]
