Drawing sketch - Attach text box to line end point

Hi,

How do i attach this text to the line start/endpoint with ilogic.

Inserting it on that point works, but there is no link between both.

Sketched symbols are no option, and leader notes neither cause it has to be in a sketch.

If you want the text to be inside of a sketch the sketch needs to be in edit mode. Hopefully this is what you were asking. Example:

Dim oDrawingDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet = oDrawingDoc.ActiveSheet
Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch = oSheet.Sketches.Item(1)
oSketch.Edit
Dim oPoint As Point2d
oPoint = oSketch.SketchLines.Item(1).StartSketchPoint.Geometry

Dim oTextBoxes As TextBoxes
oTextBoxes = oSketch.TextBoxes

oTextBoxes.AddFitted(oPoint, "hi")
oSketch.GeometricConstraints.AddCoincident(oSketch.SketchLines.Item(1).StartSketchPoint, oTextBox.OriginSketchPoint)
oSketch.ExitEdit

oSketch.GeometricConstraints.AddCoincident(oSketch.SketchLines.Item(1).StartSketchPoint, oTextBox.OriginSketchPoint)

This is exactly what I needed, thanks!
