    Default extended data

    How do I access the Notes on the Extended Data tab of the properties palette in MEP using VBA? I am looking to get access to the Notes for an electrical device.

    If you are going to access the ACA/MEP APIs, I strongly advise using .NET and not VBA.

    Correct, this isn't extended entity data we are talking about. This is property set data.

    You can find information in the AutoCAD Architectural .NET API Reference, under Autodesk.Aec.PropertyData.DatabaseServices.
