Creating automatic callouts for various dimensions in the assembly.

I have an assembly of multiple conveyors which I am looking to create automatic dimensions from. The approach I am looking for is to create a table which lists out all the conveyors and their individual dimensions like conveyor height, conveyor length, roller width etc. So say there are 8 conveyors in the assembly, the table lists out all the conveyors as rows and their dimensions as columns. I need to automate the drawing such that the assembly has all the balloons listing out the individual dimensions of the conveyors. - Balloon 1 - Conveyor 1 - conveyor length, Balloon 2 - Conveyor 1 - roller width etc. 

 

How do I approach this using iLogic or VBA?

If all you're looking for leaders with dimensions, you might not need any iLogic at all.  You can expose the desired Parameters as Custom iProperties and then pull a leader in the drawing and fill it in with the custom iProperty fields.  The iProperties automatically get updated when the model parameter changes, and you can copy the same leader around the drawing to each conveyor.

 

I have attached a PDF with screen shots of the process.

 

If this approach doesn't work for you, let me know and we can try something else.
