Replace Componamt - File Path Location in ilogic

[Dan.Ruby]

Hi all,

I'm trying to replace a component within an assembly using ilogic, however my project file is always called something different. Is there a way to change only this part of the file string? I'm new to ilogic and any help would be appreciated. 

(1201000 needs changed to the current project name 1201001)

Component.Replace("230 SBF Wheel Assembly CCW:1","O:\Inventor Projects\1201000\Workgroup\Wheel\230 Wheel\CW\230 SBF Wheel Assembly CW.iam", True)

Thanks!

If you make a new string

Dim strProjectName as String

and then set it to a value

strProjectName = "1201000"

Then you could do this

Component.Replace("230 SBF Wheel Assembly CCW:1","O:\Inventor Projects\" & strProjectName  & "\Workgroup\Wheel\230 Wheel\CW\230 SBF Wheel Assembly CW.iam", True)

And programmatically change strProjectName

strProjectName = "1201001"

And then the call would be the same

Component.Replace("230 SBF Wheel Assembly CCW:1","O:\Inventor Projects\" & strProjectName  & "\Workgroup\Wheel\230 Wheel\CW\230 SBF Wheel Assembly CW.iam", True)

If you were smart about how you organized it, you could use a for loop and run through your projects.

Thanks to dkatz for the solution.

Dan can't you use the pat of the assembly as a reference? instead of entering something all the time?

Dim oPath As String
oPath = ThisDoc.Path & "\"

MessageBox.Show("Path: " & oPath, "iLogic")
