Hi,
Is there a way to add a custom and dummy operation to the Model Pane, for a part, sheet metal or an assembly, from the API? For instance, there are many operations (such as painting, Surface Cleaning, Third Party Operations, packaging,... ) in physical production that are not exist in drawing operations, features and constraints, which is normal from the drawing point of view. But we want to get BOM with the complete operations tree. Since the designer knows these operations in mind, after finishing the drawing, (s)he can press related dummy operation buttons to complete operation tree with physicals. So there should be a way to add dummy operations-nodes to the Model Pane and rename them as accordingly, from the API.
It is possible to create a new Pane and add nodes to that Pane, but since you can only view a Model or Custom Pane, is not practical, so, it is better to add them to the Model Pane.
Adding these dummy operations to the "Notes" tree as a child node(as a note), is possible by manually, but we could not do it via API.
So, Is there a better way to add a custom and dummy operation to the Model Pane, for a part, sheet metal or an assembly?
Thanks a lot.
