Hi
I am trying to build an application where drawings will be created automatically. In our case, the same assembly is used in several drawings each of which focuses on a different aspect of the assembly. The BOM of each drawing is available separately to my app and my app knows which componentoccurences in the tree correspond to those items.
Ok. Now the questions.
1. Is it possible to customize the auto balloon feature (present in Inventor UI) through the API to balloon only the items of interest in the desired sequence.
2. If the answer to above question is no, I guess the only solution is for the application to actually make the balloons for the items of interest through API.
In that case, would there be a sample available which can show what are the issues to take care (placement etc.) during auto ballooning ?
Thanks and Regards
