Access to Datum, Surface, Feature callouts

Struggling to gain access to the above programmatically. I'd like to access text that are input to these fields on a .dwg. I've explored SketchedSymbols and SurfaceTextureSymbols to no avail. Any point in the right direction would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Kyle

You can access feature callouts using the DrawingNotes Object. That gives you access to:

In general, you can use the following iLogic code to find the object type for anything:

 

 

Dim x = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAllEntitiesFilter, "Select Object")
MessageBox.Show(TypeName(x))

Hi @ktucker86UDQ.  In addition to those objects mentioned above, there are a few newer ones available right under the Sheet object in Inventor 2024.

Sheet.EdgeSymbols

Sheet.FeatureControlFrames (available 2009)

Sheet.RevisionClouds

Sheet.WeldingSymbols 

I do not believe the Datums, or the Feature Identifier Symbol have been exposed to the API yet.

And you said you have already looked into the SurfaceTextureSymbols, so I am not sure what you may have been referring to by 'Surface' in your post title.
