Custom leader with file name

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to create a custom leader/balloon that will extract the filename of a sub-assembly and/or part.

Yes, I think it can be done. As well in a leader as in your partlist

Here it is explained with custom iproperties, but it also works with normal iproperties.

Here comes the tricky part.

I'm in a position where I would like to have the filename of my sub-layouts in my leader, BUT on my parts list, I'd like to unfold my sub-layouts, so that I can see the components of my layout

Hi! If I understood you request correctly, you will need to create a second drawing view based on the subassembly itself. Then create a partslist based on such view. I am sorry I am a bit confused with the term "Unfold." Could you elaborate it? Is it unfolding in Sheet Metal or expanding the nodes in the partslist?

Many thanks!
