Hi d_great_ice,

I'm not aware of a way to set the parts list filter programatically, but what I've done in the past is to set up a parts list style that has the filter pre-set in that style, and then change the parts list to use that specific style.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

oPartsList.Layer = oDrawDoc.StylesManager.Layers.Item("Visible (ANSI)")
'set parts list to a specific style
oPartsList.Style = oDrawDoc.StylesManager.PartsListStyles.Item("Material List (ANSI) with Filter")

If I may add to an old post, I have a question.  Can the visibility of items in a parts list be controlled through iLogic?  It's a poor substitute for filtering, but it might work for me if filtering isn't possible.

Hi,

I'm also looing into this, filter would be awesome..

I could use this for following reason. I'm currently managing our materiallist external to inventor (so more people can access it). When i creat a first export there is no problem, but what i want is to make have a tool that can append to the already existing list.

So i want to export item x to y into my existing partslist.

Or if a revision is needed export item x and paste it over the old item x

Having a filter that limits my list would make this a more easy to make tool ( i think ).
