CAT VBA How to get Annotation Text Angle

CAT VBA How to get Annotation Text Angle

CAT VBA How to get Annotation Text Angle

(OP)
Hi,

I'm looking for information on how to get the slant angle of a specific annoation, as shown in the picture.
The properties shown are accessible when I work on FT&A workbench.
I want to get this property through vba code, to include it in a drawing automatically.

Does anyone know how to get this property?
Thanks in advance,

Portolon

RE: CAT VBA How to get Annotation Text Angle

I found this thread on COE: (credit Little Cthulhu)
http://www.coe.org/p/fo/et/thread=28313

3D annotations are basically 2D texts based on 3D plane or surface. To retrieve underlying text interface you call:
Dim drwText as DrawingText
Set drwText = oAnnotation.Text().Get2dAnnot()

regards,
