Difference between assembly drawing and part drawing

[hsheena]

Hi

I want to know if there is any api to check if a particular drawing is a assembly drawing or part drawing.Please help.

You can check what model the drawing is referenced.

It's better name your drawing asm drawing and prt drawing differently.

Hi thanks for the reply but the drawings are prepared by someone else and i need to write a macro to check if the drawing is assembly or part.Is there any api available for this.

Here is the VBA sample to illustrate possible solution:

Private Sub DrawingRefs()
  
  Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
  Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
  Dim oSheet As Sheet
  Set oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
  
  Dim oView As DrawingView
  Set oView = oSheet.DrawingViews.Item(1)

  Dim oRef As DocumentDescriptor
  Set oRef = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor
  
  Select Case oRef.ReferencedDocumentType
    Case DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject
      MsgBox "Assembly Document"
    Case DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject
      MsgBox "Part Document"
    Case Else
      MsgBox "Document - ???"
  End Select

End Sub

Hope idea is clear.
