3D Functional Tolerancing & Annotation

Adding Attribute Links
Use Case

Abstract

This article discusses the CAAScdTpiAddAttributeLinks use case. This use case explains how to browse and read tolerances defined in a CATIA V5 document.

  1. What You Will Learn With This Use Case
  2. How To Add Attribute Link

What You Will Learn With This Use Case
This use case is intended to help you to add an attribute link on a 3D text..

How To Add Attribute Link
On a text, you must obtain the 2D text on the interface DrawingText. And then you must use functions of this interface.
At the end, you must refresh the screen by the call of the function "ModifyVisu".
In this example, you add an attribute link on the length of a pad (Pad.1) that you have created in a part.

     ###  How to get Annotations?  ###

Dim Txt As DrawingText
Set Txt = annotation.Text.Get2dAnnot
Txt.FrameType = catCircle

Dim parameters As Parameters
Set parameters = part.Parameters
Dim lengthParam As RealParam
Set lengthParam = parameters.Item("Part1\PartBody\Pad.1\FirstLimit\Length")
Txt.InsertVariable 26, 0, lengthParam
annotation.ModifyVisu
