Add Annotation Scale to the Inventor.DesignViewRepresentation Object

[Anonymous]

The "Auto" setting of the Annotation Scale command doesn't quite keep up when scaling parts from 1/2" to 36+".

It'd be handy to be able to control the annotation scale of 3D dimensions, surface textures, etc. from the DesignViewRepresentation object from within the Inventor API.

Please make it available as method or property (or point me in the right direction).

Following up with a more general question / suggestion...

Is there a reason why model annotations don't get their own public interface? Can we get one?

To illustrate, everything below has its own public interface except Model Annotations.

Dim thisDoc As Document = _invApp.ActiveDocument
Dim allFeatures As PartFeatures = thisDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features
Dim allPlanes As WorkPlanes = thisDoc.ComponentDefinition.WorkPlanes
Dim allParameters As Parameters = thisDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters
Dim allViews As DesignViewRepresentations = thisDoc.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.DesignViewRepresentations

Dim all3dDims As Object = thisDoc.ComponentDefinition.ModelAnnotations
Dim dimTol As Object = thisDoc.ComponentDefinition.ModelAnnotations.ModelDimensions.Item("FeatureName").Definition
Dim dimType As ToleranceTypeEnum = ToleranceTypeEnum.kLimitsFitsStackedTolerance
dimTol.Tolerance.SetToLimits(dimType, "3.03 in", "2.97 in")
