Open .dwg with iLogic

[keithjk]

Is it possible to open a .dwg file with Inventor?  I want to open my assembly .dwg and pass some custom iProperties to it. 

[Jefkee · Accepted solution]

Sure it's possible,

ThisApplication.Documents.Open("Full file path + extension here")

How do you want to pass some custom iProperties to it?

Jefkee,

Thanks, I figured it out yesterday and I figured out how to pass the iPoperties also.  (I have a LISP and .NET background so iLogic is knew to me.) 

It appears to me that iLogic can use many .NET functions?

and it's possible to open autocad file with autocad in inventor?

If your file assosciation defaults are set to open .dwg's with autocad, this should work:

Process.Start("C:\FileName.dwg")
