Multi-Line General Note (Carriage Return Line Feed)?? Help.

[Tiffany_Hayden_]

I'm trying to make a multiline general note. And I tried adding the /n/r and \n\r to my string to split the string into multiple lines and VBA doesn't seem to care about those. Below is my code. 

    Dim oDrawdoc As DrawingDocument
    Set oDrawdoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

    Dim oSheet As Sheet
    Set oSheet = oDrawdoc.Sheets.Item(1)

    Dim oSheets As Sheets: Set oSheets = oDrawdoc.Sheets

    Dim oGeneralNotes As GeneralNotes
    Set oGeneralNotes = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.DrawingNotes.GeneralNotes
    
    Dim oTG As TransientGeometry
    Set oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry


    
    Dim strText_Elevation As String
    strText_Elevation = "1. ALL ELEVATIONS TAKEN FROM FINISHED FLOOR."
    
    Dim strtext_Supports As String
    strtext_Supports = "2. ALL SUPPORTS TO HAVE ?1" & """" & "CLEARANCE FROM FINISHED FLOOR."
    
   
     Dim strFullNote As String
    strFullNote = strText_Elevation & "/r/n" & strtext_Supports 
    
    
    Dim oGeneralNote As GeneralNote
    Set oGeneralNote = oGeneralNotes.AddFitted(oTG.CreatePoint2d(0.5, 2), strFullNote)
    oGeneralNotes.Item(oGeneralNotes.Count()).TextStyle.FontSize = 0.6 * 0.254
    oGeneralNotes.Item(oGeneralNotes.Count()).TextStyle.Rotation = pi / 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Just figured it out. 

Example: 

    Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
    Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    
    Dim oPosition As Point2d
    Set oPosition = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint2d(0, 0)
    
    Dim sFormattedText As String
    
    sFormattedText = "<Numbering Format='" & "1" & "'>" & strText_Elevation & "</Numbering>" & "<Numbering Format='" & "1" & "'>" & strtext_Supports & "</Numbering>"

@Tiffany_Hayden_,

Very helpful. Thanks.

I was trying to unsuccessfully include an ampersand (&) character in the string. I had to use the VBA editor to explore a formatted string.

Here is the format to use "&" in your strings:

Dim strText_Line1 As String = "BEFORE & AFTER"

Wish it was easier to explore objects in iLogic. Thanks again for the formatting example.

Regards,

Jerry
