Macro Modify text on Detail sheet

Macro Modify text on Detail sheet

Macro Modify text on Detail sheet

(OP)
Hello,

I am trying to modify the content of a text box on the detail sheet via a macro. I tried using the code below but it gives an error. (the code works for modifying text in a drawing sheet)

CODE -->

'-------
Dim myDrawing As DrawingDocument Dim Sheets As DrawingSheets Dim CurSheet As DrawingSheet Dim DetSheet As DrawingSheet Dim CurViews As DrawingViews Dim DetViews As DrawingViews Dim TextToFill_1 As DrawingText Dim TB_NUMBER1 As String Set myDrawing = CATIA.ActiveDocument Set Sheets = myDrawing.Sheets Set CurSheet = myDrawing.Sheets.ActiveSheet Set DetSheet = myDrawing.Sheets.Item(2) Set CurViews = CurSheet.Views Set DetViews = DetSheet.Views CurView = "Background View" DetView1 = "Shiloh_TB_Body" TB_NUMBER1 = InputBox("Drawing Number: ", "TB_NUMBER", "DRAWING-NUMBER") DetSheet.Activate DetViews.Item(DetView1).Activate Set TextToFill_1 = Texts.GetItem("TB_NUMBER") TextToFill_1.Text = TB_NUMBER1 CurSheet.Activate CurViews.Item(CurView).Activate

This code works fine when i am not switching to the detail view.. I noticed the the text is classified differently on the detail views, i assume this is the root of my problem. can any one help?

Regards,

Jago
