I'm generating single view part drawings for each part in an assembly and then adding labels to each view. The labels contain corresponding QTY, ITEM, and DESCRIPTION values from the partsList generated on the Assembly drawing. There seems to be an issue with the way I'm populating the arrays, and I am getting an "index is out or range" error. i.e., the number of labels generated is less than the number of drawing views. I can't for the life of me figure out why. Would really appreciate if someone could point out the issue.
