Displaying TextGraphics in fixed position

[prakash.muthu]

Hi,

How to draw text graphics in fixed position and should not change on scrolling up/down. 

Dim oTextGraphics As TextGraphics

oTextGraphics.Anchor = oTG.CreatePoint(0, 0, 0)

oTextGraphics.Text = "user name displayed here"

This always changing text position on changing up/down scrolling. Instead it should always fixed position to view always and not moving with point.

Hi @prakash.muthu.  Have you considered using a ModelGeneralNote for that situation.  The text in one of those will stay where you specify, based on your model area's view frame, instead of a position in model space.  It simply allows you to specify which quadrant of the screen you want the text to be shown in.  Below are some links to the online help pages for the associated API objects, and their methods.

ModelAnnotations

ModelGeneralNotes

ModelGeneralNotes.CreateDefinition Method

ModelGeneralNotes.Add Method

And here is a simple example that can be used on either a part or assembly:

Dim oMAs As ModelAnnotations = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.ModelAnnotations
Dim oMGNs As ModelGeneralNotes = oMAs.ModelGeneralNotes
Dim sFText As String = "My Stationary Text Here"
Dim oMGNDef As ModelGeneralNoteDefinition
oMGNDef = oMGNs.CreateDefinition(sFText, True, ScreenQuadrantEnum.kUpperLeftQuadrant)
Dim oMGN As ModelGeneralNote = oMGNs.Add(oMGNDef)
oMGN.Name = "My Stationary Text Note 1"
oMGN.Visible = True
