Checking if hole note leader points to geometry or thread symbol

Anonymous — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 19:36:52 GMT

Hello

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to check whether a hole note leader was attached to the geometry of the hole/thread feature or the thread symbol.

From there I'd be curious to know if it would be possible to automatically move it to the other, depending on which one it's on. From what little experience I have this seems like it might be pretty complex, so I'm hoping it's actually easy or there's someone out there who knows how to do it already!

Thanks

Checking isn't the problem. But finding the correct curve and attaching the hole note to it seems at least very difficult if not impossible.

here is the code to check if it's attached to geometry or symbol.

Dim leader As HoleThreadNote = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kDrawingDefaultFilter, "Select a hole note") Dim drawingCurve As DrawingCurve = leader.Edge If drawingCurve.ProjectedCurveType = Curve2dTypeEnum.kCircleCurve2d Then MsgBox("Hole note is attached to geometry") Else MsgBox("Hole note is attached to symbol") End If
