Is it possible to change the margin on a drawingview in VBA?

Is ModelState-->Reference Data --> Margin Accessible?

Hello Tifffany,

Unfortunately, it seems not to be exposed.

@HideoYamadaWould it be possible with ilogic? If so I can use VBA to call the ilogic rule.

I'm not so good at iLogic, but I think it's impossible...

Okay! @HideoYamada I'll look into it. I have posted on the idea board though. Maybe it will get some traction.

@maxim.teleguz No but I talked to a developer at AU this year and I am working with our Autodesk support to get it added. It's now under Investigation! yay!

This is very similar to one of the ideas I posted about back in late 2019 too. My Idea was for some of the other settings on that same tab of the DrawingView dialog.

@maxim.teleguz @Tiffany_Hayden_ I check it again, and find that I made the mistake about the delivery schedule. But we are actively working on this request, and will keep you updated later. Sorry for the confusion!

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2024.2. Please review the Inventor 2024.2 API Help document.

if it has been implemented in a patch can you please port it to earlier versions?

Companies take there time upgrading to everything. we still use 2022 and I believe are going to 2023 start of 2024.

Try to to think of the companies that actually need this never use the last software that comes out, because we would rather wait for all the bugs to be fixed over a year before we use it.
