Add Callout (Note) to components in drawing using NXopen

(OP)
Hello Everyone ,

Can someone in the forum let me know how i can add callouts (Note) to the various components of an assembly in the drawing sheet using NXOpen. I intend to add the component names as note attached to the component in drawing view.

The below function does similar kind of thing in the modelling workbench , but i need something for the drafting workbench.
ufs.Disp.SetNameDisplayStatus(UFConstants.UF_DISP_NAME_DISPLAY_ON)

Please help !!!

Thanks

RE: Add Callout (Note) to components in drawing using NXopen

Have you looked at using alternative item callouts generated when creating a standard Parts List, such as shown in the image below where I've set it up to show Component Part Names instead of the Item callout:

Yes , this is what i exactly desire .Thanks!!!
Can you please point me out to the exact menu item and how to go about creating this manually.
I will then try to convert this to NxOpen Code at my end.

It's on the 'Style' dialog when setting up a Parts List.
