Feature linked Note - How

[Paolo F Cantoni]

I can get hold of the Note, and I can get hold of the Note Link with Automation, but I can't see how to get hold of the fact that the note may or may not be linked to an element feature.

Has anybody figured out how to do it?

A couple of quick tests...

1. I linked a note to an element's note field and the following changes appeared in the note's record in t_object: PDATA1 --> "Element Note", PDATA2 --> the element's ID, PDATA4 --> "Yes".

2. I linked a note to an element's attribute and the following changes appeared: PDATA1 --> "Attribute", PDATA2 --> the attribute's ID, PDATA3 --> the attribute's name, PDATA4 --> "Yes".

I would assume the other types behave similarly, but investigation would be needed.

HTH,

Thanx Neil,

So, for Automation, I use get_MiscData(n-1) right?

Neil,

Just a further clarification if I may.  Although the UI requires you to act on the connector (link), the linkage is actually directly in  the element (note).  Correct?

Paolo,

1. Yes, PDATA1..PDATA5 map to MiscData(0)..MiscData(4)

2. Yes, information held for the note, not the note link
