Get Corresponding Note in Part Example (VBA)

This example shows how to determine if the selected note in a part corresponds to the selected note in an assembly to which the part belongs.

'-----------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Copy public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\block.sldprt to c:\temp.
' 2. Open c:\temp\block.sldprt and add a note containing the text Note1.
' 3. Save the part.
' 4. Create an assembly of the part.
' 5. Save the assembly as c:\temp\block.sldasm.
' 6. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. At Stop, select the note and press F5.
' 2. Gets the Note object in the assembly.
' 3. Activates the part document.
' 4. At Stop, select the note and press F5.
' 5. Gets the Note object in the assembly.
' 6. Gets whether the notes in the part and assembly are the same.
' 7. Examine the Immediate window.
