Tube End and section symbols

Hello all, I posted this in the Inventor topics forum, perhaps someone can help me on this forum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps someone can help me with Automatic symbol creation/ placement.

 

I need to put tube end symbols on all my cut tubes, this is a manual and tedious process (See images)

I have created a symbol and insert it at each tube end, this has to be scaled and rotated to "Fit" as best as possible. I "Hide the tube end lines via layers.

 

I do the same for section lines, I have a custom section symbols, which have to be rotated and manually placed for each permiatation, sometimes I have 20 to 30 symbols per drawing. as one can see by the images, this in not the perfect/quickest way of doing things.

 

Does someone have any suggestions, ideas, Macros, VB code, ilogic, anything, than can perhaps help me.

Thank you

Reg.
