Counting notes in creo

[KB_9100625]

Hi,

I was wondering is there a command in relations that can count how many notes exist in a part? also is there a command to see what the note id is without having to click on the note?

[JB_87049]

To count the number of notes, you could do the following

• press <ctrl><f>
• select "look for : note" (see screenshot below)

To see the id, you could add the id to a tree column

ok! thank you. do you know if there is a way to do this in realtions? like making a parameter that equals that amount?

[JB_87049]

I doubt whether that is possible with a relation.
I would try to accomplish what you want by using weblink. Perhaps someone else can shine his or her light on this.

also i have noticed that the id on the model tree doesnt show the note ids

weblink is Creo's API in html language.

other offerings are dispensed in C, C++ and Java.

The Creo Toolkit function ProSolidAnnotationelemVisit is described as : 

Visits the annotation elements in a given model.

so what your saying is i could use something like matlab to create the code i need and then apply that to creo?

[remy]

More or less.

The gist of an API is that you indeed need to create an application. 
In the Creo world, it is called Toolkit and the offering varies according to the language you can code with. With this said the most spread, the most mature and powerful is Creo Toolkit (in C language).

Matlab is not part of Creo functionalities though.
