Dear professionals, who have access to the "Record Macro" button. Write and share "Text Border" macros.
After all, it did not come from heaven. Much needed, please help 🙏

You really have that opportunity or you know someone who can do it. Thank you in advance 🍾

Are you saying that in version 2023 this will be done?

In this public forum, it is very unlikely that anyone would make a promise as to when a particular feature will or will not be added to the software.  If you join the Feedback Community (Beta), you may be able to get a better idea, but even there I would not expect any promises.  Good luck!

When the problem was given the number INVGEN-44833, it was a year ago. I was happy and hoped that this would be resolved. But now, reading your answers, I realize that this may never happen, even though there is very little work for the programmer here. All you need to do is give the user access to a feature that is already performed by the inventory. It is very sad that the team has such an attitude towards the user. 😪

If it wasn't in the plans for 2022 in october of 2021, it wasn't likely to make it for 2022.  If you release in early April you have to be feature set much sooner than that if you're going to get all your documentation and bug/beta testing done in time.  You can't just take a request and it that quickly.  It sucks for us as users, but that's how development works.  Sometimes it can be a quick fix, but even that time has to be allotted for someone to look into and make sure that the fix doesn't domino into other areas. It may not seem like this should affect anything else, but you never know.  I'd wager with something the scale of inventor you're talking hundreds of thousands of lines of code, if not into the millions. 

Hence the beta they're talking about, if it is there, you can see it in action and how it's working and say yea/nea/or make suggestions on how it should function.

As lame as it may sound to you, you have to go through the channels and the process which unfortunately takes time.

Hi Robert,

Never say never. I just check the latest status of  INVGEN-44833. It has been fixed on an internal build targeting the future release. I am working with the project team to see if the change can be ported to 2022.

Many thanks!

Thank you so much, there are very few amazing people like you these days. If that happened at least in 2023. In the version and that would be a miracle.
I can only hope that miracles will happen at Christmas.
Thank you all very much for your help.

Hi Robert,

I have contacted the project team. The backport is not an option unfortunately. Currently, it is available on an internal build targeting a future release. If you are interested, please sign up Inventor Feedback Community and try it on the testable build.

Many thanks!

Thank you very much for help. If I understood it correctly in the new version will it already work? If so then I still need your help to give it a try. Since it needs to be run via iLogic it should have syntax for how to do it.

Hi Robert,

I suggest you sign up Inventor Feedback Community and try the latest testable build (install-free).

Many thanks!
