Open document from drawing partslistrow

[Arnold82]

Hello,

I wish to open a part or assemblydocument by its item number in the drawingdocument.

I can make an inputlistbox with all Item numbers in the drawing.

I can also link the result of the inputlistbox to the partslistrow.Item("Item").Value.

I am stuck here. I can not find the link/reference from a partslistrow to a document.

Is there a propertyfield that keeps the link? Or another way?

Comparing partlist and BOM cells by value is not a method I can use

Thanks in advance,

Arnold

Look at the PartsListRow.ReferencedFiles Method 

Here's a quick example:

Public Sub OpenPartFromList()
    Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
    Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    ' Get the part list
    Dim oPartList As PartsList
    Set oPartList = oDoc.ActiveSheet.PartsLists.Item(1)
    
    ' Find the first row
    Dim oRow As PartsListRow
    Set oRow = oPartList.PartsListRows.Item(1)
    
    ' Get Ref Doc
    Dim oRefDoc As Document
    Set oRefDoc = oRow.ReferencedFiles.Item(1).ReferencedDocument
    
    ' Open the doc
    ThisApplication.Documents.Open (oRefDoc.FullDocumentName)
End Sub

Hi All,

Any chance to mod this code to open the model from first sheet ,first view instead BOM?

Thanks
