How do I loop through parallelism and surface finish annotations in NXOpen? 1

Hi,

I've just started NXOpen coding through VB and I managed to loop through the dimensions and extract tolerances using
For Each temp_dimension as Annotations.Dimension in workPart.Dimensions

However, I see that the parallelism constraint as well as surface finish detail do not appear in these. What do I need to loop through to access all of those notations as well as the textual annotations in a drawing?

Recommended for you

{part}.Annotations.Fcfs (feature control frames)
{part}.Annotation.DraftingSurfaceFinishSymbols
{part}.Notes

You will find many collections within the Annotation manager of the part; such as ID symbols, custom symbols, centerlines, etc.

Thanks a lot! I was able to loop through the feature control frame and the drafting surface finishes easily. However, I'm having trouble with the Balloon Notes. I can't seem to loop through them using the PmiManager. Is there some other collection I'm supposed to look at?
