Annotation stacking

Hi all,

For annotations there is a method insertintostack, which stacks the annotation to other annotations. So my question is, is there a way to find if the annotations in the workpart has any other annotations stacked into it. If so how to get reference to it. I searched the help file...but i had no luck finding it...

I don't see anything in the NXOpen API that will give you immediate access to annotation stacks and the annotations that they contain.

An annotation's associative origin data will tell you if it is part of a stack and what other annotation it is attached to. Using this information and iterating through all the annotations, you could build a map of annotation stacks yourself (but it seems like something the API should provide).
