Hi @felix.bouchard ,

Here is an example that will report which drawings exists for the models in the active assembly file.

I hope this helps.

Dim NoDrawingList As String
Dim HasDrawingList As String

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
If oDoc.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then Exit Sub

For Each xDoc As Document In oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments

	oPath = IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(xDoc.FullFileName)
	oModelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(xDoc.FullFileName)
	oName = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(xDoc.FullFileName) & ".idw"
	oDrawingFilePath = oPath & "\" & oName

	If System.IO.File.Exists(oDrawingFilePath) = True Then
		HasDrawingList = HasDrawingList & vbLf & oModelName
	Else
		NoDrawingList = NoDrawingList & vbLf & oModelName
	End If
Next

MsgBox("has drawing:" & vbLf & HasDrawingList & vbLf & vbLf & "has NO drawing:" & vbLf & NoDrawingList, , "iLogic")

This is great, is there a way to exclude the content center parts?

Thanks.

Hi @felix.bouchard ,

ooops! I thought I had that in there. ( I wrote this using a different method at first and then changed my mind and apparently dropped the CC line in doing so).

Give this a try ( note, I didn't test it just now, so post back it this doesn't work).

I hope this helps.
