[V8i VBA] Text node rewrite error - changing level & color

Hi Jon,

Thank you for pointing out this. But even when I back to MicroStatation 8.5, the analyze element command can't to change the color of text node itself (the color item of text node in Element Information dialog is always grey). I think you must change it by program.

Thank you so much for the responses. This has helped me to find a solution that fits my needs, even though the error caused by changing the color of the specific text node has technically not been resolved.

For my purposes, it turns out I only need to change the level of the text node and not the text node color. I thought that it was both the level change and the color change that was causing the problem, but it was only the color change. So removing ".Color = 23" from the code works for me.

Jon - I'm really impressed that you took the time to look into this and what you have done is great! I have learned so much from your posts and your website. Thank you!!

I tidied up your code to make it easier for me to understand (see attachment). I get the same error as you, on one particular text node. I used MicroStation's analytic tools to examine that node, but don't see anything special.

Not meaningless...

The text node number can take a different colour to the text elements of that node. The old Analyze Element tool (not the current Element Information tool) lets you apply different colours to each text element and to the node itself.

You can try to comment out the seventh last line ".Color = 23" because the color of textnode is meaningless. Please see the below screenshot, you can notice the color item of TextNode is grey.
