Annotations Font macro

I created a macro to change the arrow parameters in draw mode and it worked fine. I was also able to set the Linear Dimension Precision within the same macro and it worked as well (though AltLinearDimPrecision did not work). My main problem however was with my attempt to set the Annotations Font under Document Properties. I could not create a macro for either Note, Dimension, Detail or Section under Annotations Font. When I went to edit the macro, the macro was essentially empty. Has anyone run into this before?

TIA

Paul

Umm, a dumb question. Did you look for the macro in the file you created the macro in. Macros are saved in the model file. Can also be saved to disk, but the default is the macro resides in the file.

Uh, macros are usually saved where you tell SW to save them. Preferably in /macros so you can assign hotkeys to them later if necessary.

As to the original question, I'm not sure why a macro would suddenly be empty. I suspect an accident in renaming or saving the macro.

NOTE: 2003 will allow you to open a macro with no indication that it is being opened read-only. Then you save and nothing is saved. Lost alot of work because of this. I always check the last saved date.

My mistake, you're quite right about that.

I must have been thinking about design tables and VBA in the Excell spreadsheet. Those go with the part and assy model file.
