Modify and align balloons in drafting 1

[mandarparab18]

I am writing catvba script to create balloons and place them.
I have used Generate Balloon cooman in catvba to create balloons in catia drafting file.
For that, i used CATIAStartCommand API. Now i want to allign all the balloons. Is there any method to allign all balloons in drafting view?

I don't know about script, but here's how I do it manually:

After all the balloons are created, I use the Element Positioning tool to align the balloons. Tools + Positioning + Element Positioning

Since this doesn't group the balloons together, I also add a Position Link from the first balloon (with the leader) to all the other balloons in the group.

Thanks Jackk
I am trying to create balloon using catvba.
I used Generate balloon command in my script, but unable to place balloons properly.
Is there any alternate method to generate and place balloon using catvba?

Each Balloon is a 'DrawingText' object. Each DrawingText has a position consisting of an X and Y coordinate. You could scan the available 'DrawingTexts' inside the DrawingView and utilize some checks to determine which objects to align and apply the correct positioning for each.
