Hi,

How to get postion of faces of part when place on idw drawing file???

Do we need to use (ThisApplication.MeasureTools.GetMinimumDistance(oTG.CreatePoint2d(0, 0), oFa.PointOnFace)????

If we use that we will get distance  but how to get face postion on idw. do we need to use edges?? or lines???

I found way again by myself.....

Using ModelToSheetSpace with drawingview we can get reference to anything from Model i.e., 3D Enviroment to sheet space Enviroment.

working on code and will post you in 10 mins... cheers

Here is the complete code, hope this will be helpful for somebody
