Catia V5 Drawing Sheet Counting

Catia V5 Drawing Sheet Counting

Catia V5 Drawing Sheet Counting

(OP)
Hello

I was using a macro to count the sheets of a drawing and label them properly but I had 4 of them, one for each drawing size.
I want to use VBA and create a user form from which you can select the drawing size and it would automatically run the correct script.
However, since i moved the script into VBA it is not working anymore.
The Code:

CODE --> VBA

Private Sub A0Button_Click()
Set drawingDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
j = drawingDocument1.Sheets.Count

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
Dim oBackground As DrawingView
Dim oFrontview As DrawingView
Dim oText As DrawingText

Set oDoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set drawingSheets1 = drawingDocument1.Sheets

For i = 1 To drawingDocument1.Sheets.Count
Set oSheet = drawingDocument1.Sheets.Item(i)
oSheet.Activate

Set oBackground = oDoc.Sheets.ActiveSheet.Views.Item("Background View")
Set oText = oBackground.Text.Add("0" & i & " OF " & "0" & j & " " & strNewName, 1029, 57)

Next

End Sub 

The error comes up on

CODE

Set oText = oBackground.Text.Add("0" & i & " OF " & "0" & j & " " & strNewName, 1029, 57) 
with the message: Run-time error `438`: Object doesn`t support this property or method.

Does anyone know a solution to solve this?


Thank you.
