I can't committ to when this will be available, but I will tell you it is
not in the upcoming 5.3 SP2 or Inventor 6. This was previously recognized
as functionality missing from the API, but this is the first request we have
for that capability. Because of what seemed like limited interest it had a
lower priority than the functionality we're currently working on for
Inventor 6. Understanding everyone's needs helps us in determining the
priorities of what we do next.
