Manually you can create a balloon or note with a type of "Offset" and then relate it to a dimension. Or after it's already created you can select the balloon or note and then select "Edit - Group - Relate To Object" and then select the dimension to relate it to. Either method makes the balloon or note move when the dimension is moved.Unfortunately there's no way to do this with Pro/TOOLKIT.
 
Hello,bruppert


Manually it possible. what you say is exactly right. But i want through toolkit is there any methods also i can greatly appriciate. Is any macro is possible here.


Thanks and regards

There is no way to do this through Pro/TOOLKIT API's. A macro won't work either because you must select on screen to pick the dimension to relate to. I submitted an enhancement requestto PTC a while ago to be able to support the Offset attachment type for detail items but right now it won't do it.
