Dim DrawDoc As Inventor.DrawingDocument = inventorApp.ActiveDocument
Dim Evasione As Inventor.GeneralNote

For Each Sheet In DrawDoc.Sheets Sheet.Activate() Dim Geom As Inventor.TransientGeometry = inventorApp.TransientGeometry Evasione = Sheet.DrawingNotes.GeneralNotes.AddFitted(Geom.CreatePoint2d(Sheet.Width - 3.5, 4.5), TextBox6.Text & vbCrLf & TextBox7.Text) Evasione.Rotation = 0.785398 'radianti Evasione.LineSpacing = 0.6 Evasione.HorizontalJustification = Inventor.HorizontalTextAlignmentEnum.kAlignTextCenter Evasione.VerticalJustification = Inventor.VerticalTextAlignmentEnum.kAlignTextMiddle DrawDoc.Update() Next

-------+PDF GENERATION CODE-------

For Each Sheet In DrawDoc.Sheets

Something like this should work for you.

 

Sub Main()
	Call AddNote()
	Call PrintPDF()
	Call DeleteNote()
End Sub


Sub AddNote()
	Dim invApp As Inventor.Application
	invApp = ThisApplication
	
	Dim oDrawDoc As Document
	oDrawDoc = invApp.ActiveEditDocument
	
	Dim oTG As Inventor.TransientGeometry = invApp.TransientGeometry
	
	For Each oSheet In oDrawDoc.Sheets
	
		oNote = oSheet.DrawingNotes.GeneralNotes.AddFitted(oTG.CreatePoint2d(oSheet.Width - 3.5, 4.5), "Text" & vbCrLf & "Other Text")
		
		With oNote
			.Rotation = 0.785398 'radianti
			.LineSpacing = 0.6
			.HorizontalJustification = Inventor.HorizontalTextAlignmentEnum.kAlignTextCenter
			.VerticalJustification = Inventor.VerticalTextAlignmentEnum.kAlignTextMiddle
		End With
		oDrawDoc.Update()
	Next
 End Sub
 
 Sub PrintPdf()
 	MsgBox("Code for printing goes here instead!")
 End Sub
 
 Sub DeleteNote()
 	Dim invApp As Inventor.Application
	invApp = ThisApplication
	
	Dim oDrawDoc As Document
	oDrawDoc = invApp.ActiveEditDocument
		
	For Each oSheet In oDrawDoc.Sheets
		For Each oGeneralNote In oSheet.DrawingNotes.GeneralNotes
			If oGeneralNote.Rotation = 0.785398
				oGeneralNote.Delete
			End If
		Next
	Next
 End Sub
