Automatic Balloon Generating Rule in an assembly

To whom it may concern

 

I'm working on a drawing template which can distinguish whether the reference model used in the drawing is a part or an assembly and modifies the drawing template based on the reference model. My rule is triggered to run on drawing creation and automatically resizes and moves drawing views based on whether the reference model is an assembly or a part file.

 

I'm not a coding wizard and know little about VB or iLogic at this time (Used Python during my studies). The issue I am having is with balloons. Not matter where I look, I just can't seem to get much information about automating the ballooning process. Yes, I know inventor has auto ballooning included so why do it? Well, because I would like it to happen immediately upon drawing generation based on whether the reference model is an assembly or a part file.

 

I know how I want the process to run, but I don't know the commands for it. I was thinking the following:

- After moving the views and resizing.

- Pull list of components/subassemblies in the reference model. (From Parts list)

- Go through parts list one by one and balloon them.

 

Anyone successfully done this before?
