Trying to embed deltas into NX notes. Some dwgs, it'll allow the script to work: <%DELTA_> (inserting numbers for underscore).  Some dwgs will work, others it won't.  What's the fix and why only some dwgs will allow this script to work?

RE: Invalid annotation specified in entry field

What exactly are you trying to do?  BTW, what is a 'DELTA'?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Sorry, delta flag callout notes, triangled notes. i.e.
Notes:
1. Materials . . . .

2. Finish . .

<%DELTA3>  Torque . . .  --> this note would have a triangle with the number 3 inside it, embedded into the note.

The script works at times, and when it doesn't, it'll kick back the subject line message.

RE: Invalid annotation specified in entry field

The NX way of doing that would be to create a Triangle 'Symbol' and then attach it to the your note or vise versa.

Yeah, that was our old way of IDEAS, we've now migrated to NX.  But when the notes are edited, fewer or more line of notes, the deltas are not associative to their corresponding note.
