Control a Catia V5 "Annotation Set" visibility with a formula/ rule?

Control a Catia V5 "Annotation Set" visibility with a formula/ rule?

(OP)
Hi!

Is it possible to control a annotation set visibility and/ or annotation set texts individually with formulas/ rules?

I have a part with visible skeleton sketches (own partbody) and annotation texts in the background. I would like to be able to hide/show the annotation texts at the same time as I hide/show the skeleton sketches. I can hide the skeleton sketches (the partbody) by the .Show command, e.g.

if Skeletons_Visible = "True"
{
`Skeleton Sketches`.Show = true
}
else if Skeletons_Visible = "False"
{
`Skeleton Sketches`.Show = false
}

The .Show doesn´t seem to work on the annotation set though. The only parameters I get from the annotation set to work with is every text individually (~15 pcs). All these parameters are in the format; "Text". What commands works for a "text" paramter? Can I show/ hide them somehow? If not, can I somehow change their scale or font size?

I know that I can hide the annotation set simply by right-clicking on it and choose it to be active/ not active. But I would like to be be able to hide several partbodies and the annotation set with only one click.
