Add the Ability to Reference Assembly Properties for Leader Text on a Drawing

[Wish List System]

Summary: For Inventor drawings add to Leader Text a selection called "Properties-Assembly".

Description: For Inventor drawings add to Leader Text a selection called "Properties-Assembly" in the "Type" field in the Format Text dialog box. Currently you can select "Properties-Model" and pick the various model properties such as "DESCRIPTION" and PART NUMBER" to add to the leader text. But if view of an assembly contains a sub-assembly, the Leader Text picks up only the part model and it's properties. You can not connect the leader to reference the sub-assembly and its properties. In the BOM and ballooning the sub-assemblies are referenced. Leader Text should also be able to reference the sub-assembly properties. It is not always required, efficient, or appropriate to use a BOM and balloons to specify items when a simple callout would do.

Add Assembly & Sub Assembly Properties to Leader Text

Summary: Add Assembly Properties to Leader Text

Description: I would like the ability to select and add "Properties-Assembly" to leader text. This would be done in the "Type" field of the Format Text dialog box. the method would be similiar to selecting "Properties-Model" and picking from the various model properties such as "DESCRIPTION" and PART NUMBER". Currently if a view of an assembly contains a sub-assembly you cannot select any assembly or sub-assembly properties, I believe this is because the leader connects to geometry of a part model and cannot recognize an assembly. But since the BOM and Ballooning features don reference sub-assemblies and their properties, a leader should also also have a way to recognize an assembly.
