pfcDetailNoteInstructions - TextHeight

Hi there,

I am trying to modify the text height of a table note.

What works right now is this:

var xyz = table.GetCellNote(cell);
 
var new_text_format = xyz.GetInstructions(false);
 
new_text_format.TextAngle = 12;
 
xyz.Modify(new_text_format);

But I want to modify the text's height not its angle.

Any suggestions?

    Hello MATTHIAS

    Did you already solve this problem.

    Textheight of Detail note is a little bit complicated because textheight can be set by both each line and each segment of a line.

    if you wanna set all texts to same height, the code will be like the following

    var drawing = session.CurrentModel;

    var matrix = drawing.GetSheetTransform(drawing.CurrentSheetNumber).Matrix;

    var xyz = table.GetCellNote(cell);
    var new_text_format = xyz.GetInstructions(false);

    var new_text_lines=new_text_format.textLines;

    for(var i=0;i<new_text_lines;i++)

    {

    var new_text_line=new_text_lines.item(i);

    var new_texts=new_text_line.texts;

    for(var j=0;j<new_texts.count;j++)

    {

    var new_text=new_texts.item(j);

    new_text.TextHeight=12/matrix.Item(0, 0);//<-need to transform the coordinates

    }

    }


    xyz.Modify(new_text_format);

      Hi Jun,

      thanks for answering. I almost gave up hope solving this problem.

      I will give it a try as soon as I have some spare time to work on it. Maybe by the end of this week.

      Thanks a lot again.

      OK, I was too curious, if this really would work.

      And it does!!

      After some tweaks:

      var drawing = oSession.CurrentModel;

      var matrix = drawing.GetSheetTransform(drawing.CurrentSheetNumber).Matrix;

      var tables = drawing.ListTables();

      var table = tables.Item(0); // just uses first table

      var cell = pfcCreate("pfcTableCell").Create(2, 1); // this depends on the cell you like to modify

      var xyz = table.GetCellNote(cell);

      var new_text_format = xyz.GetInstructions(false);

      var new_text_lines=new_text_format.TextLines;

      for(var i=0;i<new_text_lines.Count;i++)

      {

      var new_text_line=new_text_lines.Item(i);

      var new_texts=new_text_line.Texts;

      for(var j=0;j<new_texts.Count;j++)

      {

      var new_text=new_texts.Item(j);

      new_text.TextHeight=12/(matrix.Item(0, 0));//<-need to transform the coordinates

      }

      }

      xyz.Modify(new_text_format);

      oSession.CurrentWindow.Repaint();

      drawing.Regenerate();

      But, could You explain this transformation (matrix.Item(0,0))?
