Okay....... Now things are getting a little more interesting.
Can anyone tell me how to immediately execute a "Place Part" process? I now realize that I can preset the designator and parttype to a single space [" "], thereby removing that nuciance from the equation. Now I just have to figure out how to make the process execute without being forced to hit an "OK" button...
