Need iLogic code for opening -or- deleting a component from within an assembly.

[loomeye]

I realize these are two different operations, but I thought I could comine them into one post.

First, there is a skeleton part in my flexible assembly that I would like to have automatically open for editing (in it's own window; in the same Inventor instance) when the end user runs an iLogic rule.

Second, in a seperate rule, I need to be able to delete (not just supress) a component out of an assembly.

For both of these operations I would prefer to use the component name of the part to be opened or deleted.  For deleting this is a must, but for opening the skeleton part, using file name and path will work if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Well since I have it figured out I thought I'd post the answers to my own questions.

To open a part within an assembly (this opens a part with the same filename as the assembly + "_skeleton":

fname=ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False)&"_Skeleton.ipt"

doc=ThisApplication.Documents.Open(fname)

To delete a part in an assembly:

compo = Component.InventorComponent("Form Tool")

compo.delete
