iLogic find welding symbols with leaders

[Guido.LangeTuchscherer]

Hi there,

we are using welding symbols similar to leader notes, see image.

Thanks for any Help.

Dim dDoc As DrawingDocument
dDoc = ThisDoc.Document

Dim dSheet As Sheet
dSheet = dDoc.ActiveSheet

	'Prüfung ob schon gespeichert wurde
	If System.IO.File.Exists(dDoc.FullFileName) Then
		
		'Dateiname auslesen	
		Dim dFI As New System.IO.FileInfo(dDoc.FullFileName)
		
		'Prüfung ob datei bearbeitet werden darf und geändert wurde
		If dFI.IsReadOnly = False And ThisDoc.Document.Dirty = True Then
			
			If dDoc.DocumentType = kDrawingDocumentObject Then 'ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType = kDrawingDocumentObject Then
'				MsgBox("Zeichnung") 'Funktioniert
			End If
		End If
	End If
	
	
	' Iterate over all Weldingsymbol in the drawing
   
	Dim oTG As TransientObjects
	    oTG = ThisApplication.TransientObjects
		
	Dim dLeaderCollection As ObjectCollection
	    dLeaderCollection = oTG.CreateObjectCollection		
	
	
	Dim dLeaderNote As LeaderNote 
	
	For Each dLeaderNote In dSheet.DrawingNotes.LeaderNotes
		 	 dLeaderCollection.Add(dLeaderNote)
			 MsgBox(dLeaderNote.Text & " | " & dLeaderNote.Type.ToString & " | " & dLeaderNote.DimensionStyle.Type.ToString)
	Next

@Guido.LangeTuchscherer ,

Unfortunately, weld symbols are not supported by Inventor API (iLogic). Please log a wish list at the idea station using the below link.

Thanks @chandra.shekar.g,

but what does this mean then:

Inventor 2021 Drawings

The ThisDrawing object now implements the new IManagedDrawing interface (which inherits from the older ICadDrawing interface). ThisDrawing now supports managed drawing objects: dimensions and annotations.

I thought welding symbols would be some kind of annotations?

@Guido.LangeTuchscherer,

Introduction of API related to weld symbol is already noticed by many users. It has been reported as a wish list at idea station.

Weld symbols exposed in the API in assemblies - autodesk

Engineering team is observing all wish list. If more number of users are observing, it may be considered in future release of Inventor.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks @chandra.shekar.g I understand that,

What does this mean though?

"The ThisDrawing object now implements the new IManagedDrawing interface (which inherits from the older ICadDrawing interface). ThisDrawing now supports managed drawing objects: dimensions and annotations."

See Links above.

Thanks for your Answer and the Links.
