read a note content in visual basic

[dogarila]

In my title block I have a note for the Job Number. The note is $PRPSHEET:"Job No" and is linked to a custom property in the Part. How do I read the actual content of the note into a VB program to be able to inserted into a text box on a form?

Hi

The following code is used to copy the existing settings of a set of custom properties to a form. Hopefully will guide you to a starting point.

Sub LoadCustInfo()
Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application&quot
' Attach to or open SolidWorks session
Set Model = swApp.ActiveDoc ' Grab the current document

frm1.Issue.Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "Issue&quot
frm1.Drawingno.Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "KETDDrg&quot
frm1.Desc1.Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "Descline1&quot
frm1.desc2.Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "Descline2&quot
frm1.desc3.Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "Descline3&quot
frm1.cusdraw(0).Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "Custdrg&quot
frm1.Datecomp(1).Text = Model.CustomInfo2("", "Date&quot
End Sub

Thank you for your answer, Kevin. But I still need some help. The note I am trying to read is text on the drawing (it is generated by a link to the 3d model and defined as shown above). I am trying to read it while the drawing is active, not the part. It is not a custom property in the drawing.

Is it posible to modify the value of a custom property by linking it to an external model?
