    <description>&lt;P&gt;The idea is the graphic will be shown on one of the A2 drawing sheets that shows the construction details for a major assembly. As such there's a number of size constraints where a standard BOM format just isn't efficient. I would also like a format that's a bit more intuitive and easier to read. I don't need to show a ton of detailed information, it's probably as simple as just quantities, part numbers and a very simple descriptor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Based on this I think my current approach is going to be create a script that creates the diagram as a 3D model. There will be a significant amount of coding in this, but I think I'll just chip away at it. Staying within inventor means I can pull in derived models of the assembly stages if I decide to go down that route for added polish.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyway, I haven't been able to find anything to copy or emulate that's similar to what I want so I guess I'm starting from scratch&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kind Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Roydon Mackay&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Inserting Assembly Process Flow diagram into inventor drawing</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not sure how many of you are familiar with SolidWorks Treehouse, but I would like to do something based of this idea in Inventor. I would like a graphic very similar in style to the one shown below on the second page of a drawing set, that shows how the different parts are put together into sub-assemblies, which then go into the main assemblies. I think the technical term might be assembly process flow drawings. Iterating through the BOM, and extracting the data I think is reasonably simple, the two parts that I think I'm unsure about are:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. What's the best way to create the graphics, I could foreseeably make this work in autoCAD, but a more polished solution would be ideal. As an outside idea, I also wonder whether the easiest way might be to just draw the process as an automated 3D model&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. What's the best format to insert it into a drawing view. Would a graphic work? an excel sheet would possibly be an option, but I would like something a little more polished then is as well I think&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Treehouse.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1394686i65FE98D410178AF3/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Treehouse.png" alt="Treehouse.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If anyone has an thoughts or experience with this, it would be much appreciated&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kind Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Roydon Mackay&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Creating all those images and then adding them to a sheet and adding text. That could be very complicated. But his looks like a (structured) bom. (something like this)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="JelteDeJong_0-1722974394246.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1394966iBE798F2D3ECE0B07/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="JelteDeJong_0-1722974394246.png" alt="JelteDeJong_0-1722974394246.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why not use the (structured) bom. It's always up-to-date and does not require a lot of programing.&lt;/P&gt;
