Add text to .dwg using iLogic

[meck]

Is there a way to add text to a .dwg using iLogic? I want a note to be displayed when a certain condiction is met.

Thanks in advance!

It would probably be easier to have the text already created but invisible (on an invisible layer), and then display it when the condition is met.  (If the condition is not met, a rule would hide it again.)  Would that be OK?  What kind of condition are you looking at?

Thanks for the response, and sorry for the confusion!

There will always be a note displayed, but depending on a condition, or a calculation, the note will change to suit. The text of the note would have infinite possibilities.

You can do it with a custom iProperty.  Create the property (with a name such as DrawingNote) in the drawing or part or assembly, and then create the text note in the drawing.  Use the property as the source for the text note.  Then you can drive the property text with a rule like this:

If (...) Then

 iProperties.Value("Custom", "DrawingNote") = "Condition One"

Else

 iProperties.Value("Custom", "DrawingNote") = "Other Condition"

End If

You would put the rule in the drawing or part or assembly: wherever you created the property.  The document where you have the data that is the source of your conditional test is the place to put the rule.

Excellent idea!

Kudos to you my friend!

Thanks.
