ILogic delete file in workspace

[SoulAsasin]

Hello all,

Does anybody have a solution to delete a file from the workspace with a rule.

I have a configurator assembly full of iLogic, and i want the user to be able to rename te assembly and it's drawing in a form.

So i managed the save as of the assembly and it's drawing, but this way the old assembly remains in the workspace. I want to delete the old assembly and the old drawing after the renameing process.

i  managed to get the path of the Old files, but just couldent delete them.

Does anybody have a solution?

Thanks alot.

Hi SoulAsasin,

Will something like this work?

sFile = "C:\Temp\my_File.ipt"
Try
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(sFile)
Catch
MessageBox.Show(sFile & vblf & "    . . . can not delete file, or file not found.", "iLogic")
End Try

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

Hi,
I'll just add another context for other searchers (innovators)
Delete file to Recycle Bin

My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(sFile, FileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs, FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin)
