I would like to be able to select objects in a drawing (any kind of objects, dimensions, notes, sketches, etc) and move them to a new layer. I am using the following macro at the moment:
**************************************
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swSelMgr As SldWorks.SelectionMgr
Dim swSelObj As Object
Dim swAnn As SldWorks.Annotation
Dim i As Integer
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swSelMgr = swModel.SelectionManager
For i = 1 To swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectCount2(-1)
Set swSelObj = swSelMgr.GetSelectedObject6(i, -1)
Set swAnn = swSelObj.GetAnnotation
If Not swAnn Is Nothing Then swAnn.Layer = "DIM"
Next i
End Sub
************************************
I'm getting runtime error 438 when, for example, I pick a sketch entity to change layer. I think the issue is that it is expecting an annotation. What do I need to do to the code to allow me to select ANYTHING on a drawing and change it's layer?
Thanks all... sorry for dumb question - I really need to learn to code.....

John
