Hi Dan,
You can try something like this :
if(!isDansDataExist())
var myAnotn = AddProp( "Annotation", myScnroot, siDefaultPropagation, myAnotnName );
function isDansDataExist()
{
myScnroot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root;
myAnotnName = "DansData";
result = 0;
oEnum = new Enumerator( myScnroot.properties ) ;
for (;!oEnum.atEnd();oEnum.moveNext() )
{
var oProp = oEnum.item() ;
if(oProp.Name == "DansData" )
{
LogMessage("your annotation already exist under the scene root")
result = 1;
}
}
return result
}
Cheers
