I am trying to create a mapkey to update an annotation feature/note in our part and assembly files.Currently, we have ASME Y14M-1994 called out as the standard to interpret drawings to, we need to update this to ASME Y14-2009.Perfect candidate for a mapkey that can be run when any

This is where AutoIt or AutoHotKey come in handy - they don't care about the internal data structure.

Maybe add a pause and then resume after the correct line is selected?

I trimmed my mapkey to see where it failed and it is the Edit Parameters mouse click on the Tolerance_std_note annotation feature.

That surprised me since at that point forward in the mapkey, everything for the file should be static.

You are right, in the modeltree features and annotations are identified by "nodes". This may be the problem.

You're not selecting the annotation so the the mapkey doesn't work.

Use the Search tool to select it. Try "by name" or by "id" filters.

You must test to see what works best.

Hello, I tried that and still received the same error. I am confused why, when using the Serch tool to select the Distribution note, RMC properties, delete the contents, Insert from file, OK. Then execute the mapkey on a different object and I get that same error Cannot perform this action in current context.
