Zone values in Drawing for View Titles, Callouts and Item number Balloons

Zone values in Drawing for View Titles, Callouts and Item number Balloons

Zone values in Drawing for View Titles, Callouts and Item number Balloons

(OP)
Hi,
We have a requirement to get a program which can perform below
with objective towards drawing automation and Quality.

Once executed the program should capture Zone Values in a excel for all drawing sheets for below
1. View Titles
2. View Callouts
3. Datums
4. Balloons which call the item numbers in BOM

At next level of program improvement, I like to cover below with help from Forum members or based on my learnings.
5. Identify Scale values which are non-standard
6. Identify non-standard View title naming such as I, O, Q, S, X, and Z
7. Identify non-standard Datum naming such as I, O, Q

All our drawings are of size A0 - 1189 x 841mm with Zone namings as below.
Horizontal Zones: 1 to 20 (Right to Left)
Vertical Zones: A to P (Bottom to Top) - (14 Grids since I & O are omitted)
So each grid measures around 60mm.

Below thread regarding zone for dimensions is similar to my requirement, but Iam not concerned about location of dimensions.

I couldn’t take it further due to my limited programming knowledge.
Request help from forum members.
