Automating the Auto Balloon Tool with iLogic

[dustinbagley]

Can I create an iLogic or API rule that will run the Auto Balloon feature, select the parts, place the balloons, etc.? I've seen a lot of examples for creating individual balloons with iLogic but nothing that would run the Auto Balloon tool.

Here are two forums that did ballooning without using the auto-balloon command. (Link1 & Link2) 

This will open the dialog to do so. See this forums discussion for additional information. You might be able to dig in & see if you can specify views & parts & placement location using selection/click events.

Dim oAutoBalloon As ControlDefinition = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("DrawingBalloonAllCmd")
oAutoBalloon.Execute
