Have you tried pfcNote.GetURL and .SetURL?
I, myself, have not - I was just browsing the JLink docs.

I don't mean to discourage you, but... I believe that Pro/Engineer's
2D and 3D notes are implemented differently, and the APIs that support
them vary accordingly. I suggest you call PTC Support and see if they
can tell you otherwise.

If it actually is possible for your users to associate a URL with a
Detail Note, I don't think JLink or Pro/Toolkit has the functionality
to manage that data.

I guess I don't use Pro/E enough myself; I didn't know that you could
assign a URL to a drawing note. I did know it was possible to do that
for a 3D note.

> So I’m assuming the pfcNote class is 3D by your reply?

I believe pfcNote.Note is for 3D notes. Here's the inheritance hierarchies
I see in JLink:

ModelItem > DetailItem > DetailNoteItem
ModelItem > Note

That echoes my recollection of Pro/Toolkit supports. Again, I think it's
best for you to contact PTC about this before assuming that JLink won't
help you here.

Summary: after talking to PTC Support... this functionality is currently not possible. You can only access a 3D note URL property, not 2D notes. Thanks all...
