Question
A
How can I find Inventor IPT parts and IAM assemblies which were imported from STEP/IGES? I want to skip them in my iLogic ERP publishing script.
Just test your models (documents) for a presence of the iProperty “Preprocessor“ (STEP and IGES) or “Translation Standard“ (IGES). Warning: for STEP assemblies, this property is set only in the IAM file, not in the components.
So you can e.g. use the following iLogic code with the inquiry:
Dim PV
Try
PV = iProperties.Value("Custom", "Preprocessor")
Catch
End Try
If PV>"" Then MsgBox("IMPORTED")
