I am placing notes that call out material and below that callout and a note.
My workflow is tedious.
Place note
TYPE IN THE MATERIAL CALLOUT WITH A TEXTSYLE THAT HAS A BOX AROUND THE MATERIAL CALLOUT
THEN FOR THE LINES BELOW, I SELECT A NEW STYLE WITHOUT THE BOX.
I would like to automate this
I thought a good way would be
1. place all notes without the box
2. Select all notes
3. find all the text WD1 and replace the text-style for only WD1
anyway I could do this? Batch check text style
what would be nice is to have a list of common callouts that would be changed to have the text-style changed
That could be done with a custom program, but not with plain MicroStation tools. I can't think of a way in Plain MicroStation to select only a part of a text node (outside of the editor) - Select by Elements can filter by a string but it selects the entire element. And that only works for Text elements and Text Nodes. I don't think it works on Notes. Find (of Find & Replace Text) can find the string, but it is not a selection tool. And then there's the changing text style of only part of the note without using the text editor, which I don't think can be done without some programming magic.

Simple solution is to place one Note with correct format, copy it, edit.

Yep, that makes sense. Place it correctly, then just copy and edit. Notes are SO much easier to place correctly the first time than they are to try to change style after they are placed. It probably wouldn't take significantly more time than typing and placing them all.
That is what Im trying to avoid. I'm placing the note with the 1st line with one textstyle and then switching styles on the lines below.
Why place it , copy and edit ?
This is how I place the note.
