    Your drawings are only as good as the symbols that complete them...

    Happy New Year!

     

    If you don't want the preview window to appear, you don't want the parameters dialog to appear, then the only functionality left is the copying of the file that you want to place.

    You could do that using Windows API or e.g. the ThisApplication.FileManager object

     

    Then you could just start the component placement command ("Place") of Inventor with the copied part/assembly like shown in this devblog post: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2013/01/provide-command-parameters-using-postprivateeven...

     

    In iLogic it would look like this:

    Dim cm As CommandManager
    cm = ThisApplication.CommandManager
        
    cm.PostPrivateEvent(
    	PrivateEventTypeEnum.kFileNameEvent, 
    	"C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Inventor\TempProject\part - copy.ipt")
    
    Dim cd As ControlDefinition
    cd = cm.ControlDefinitions("AssemblyPlaceComponentCmd")
    
    cd.Execute

    I hope this helps.
