System.object GetFirstAnnotation2()

System.Object^ GetFirstAnnotation2(); 

Return Value

For parts and assemblies, this method returns the first IAnnotation object in the model. For drawings, access the annotations using the IView::GetFirstAnnotation3 method.

A dimension becomes suppressed or hidden when you specifically select a dimension and hide it, or when you select a feature and you select to hide all dimensions. If you need to filter out these dimensions, use IAnnotation::Visible to check that status.

NOTE: The difference between the obsoleted IModelDoc2::GetFirstAnnotation and this method, IModelDoc2::GetFirstAnnotation2, is that IModelDoc2::GetFirstAnnotation2 retrieves any display dimension, including suppressed, hidden, or dangling dimensions.

To get the next annotation in the model, call IAnnotation::GetNext3.
