View Names at Top of Views

[harishn2]

Hi Friends,
I would like to place the view names of all views at the top of corresponding views using catvba. Kindly give me a hint for it and not the entire macro.

Regards,
Harry

Hi,

You can play with the code bellow

Sub CatMain()
    
    Dim MyDoc As Document
    Set MyDoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
    
    Dim MyDrawingDoc 'As DrawingDocument
    Set MyDrawingDoc = MyDoc
    
    Dim MySelection 'As Selection
    Set MySelection = MyDrawingDoc.Selection
    
    Dim Status As String
    Dim vFilter(0)
    
    vFilter(0) = "DrawingView"    
    MySelection.Clear
    Status = MySelection.SelectElement2(vFilter, "Select Drawing View", True)    
    
    Dim MyDrawingView As DrawingView
    Set MyDrawingView = MySelection.Item(1).Value
    
    MyDrawingView.Activate
    
    Dim MyDrawingSheet As DrawingSheet
    Set MyDrawingSheet = MyDrawingView.Parent
    
    Dim TextLocation(1)    
    Status = MyDrawingDoc.Indicate2D("Indicate Text Location", TextLocation)    
    
    Dim MyText As DrawingText
    Set MyText = MyDrawingView.Texts.Add(vbCrLf + "Scale", TextLocation(0), TextLocation(1))    
    Dim ParameterName As String
    ParameterName = "Drawing\" + MyDrawingSheet.Name + "\" + MyDrawingView.Name + "\Name"    
    MsgBox ParameterName
    Call MyDrawingView.InsertViewScale(1 + Len(MyText.Text), MyText)
    Call MyText.InsertVariable(1, 0, MyDrawingDoc.Parameters.GetItem(ParameterName))
    
End Sub

for each view I would check all text to see if one match the view name, if not I would create text with view name.

I would put the view name text in noshow and check the frame size, then bring the view name text in show and position it according to frame size.
