Filters Numbering Schema List in Inventor

Hallo everybody,

first of all, Happy new year.

I hope you all have a good start in 2018

In the last days i search for a possibility to set a List with numschema that i use in Vault.

Momently I have in Inventor only the default NumSchema that is marked in Vault.

But I want to have some NumSchemas, like "Daten", "Normteile", Fremdteile", independently from the chosen catagorie

The high end of my idea is the for a catagorie one or two numschema in the list.

For example

Categorie A have the NumSchemas A - B - C

Categorie B have the NumSchemas A - D

Categorie C have the NumSchemas B - D - E

But this is an other question.

By the way, I use the DS Quickstart 2018.1 form Markus that is very good.

Thanks for reading and all a good day

Hi Joerg,

happy new year!

For your first objective the default configuration already delivers it: if a numbering scheme matching the category name exists, this scheme was set.

Quickstart replaced the setting with a filtered one. You just need to uncomment the original code in InitializeWindow:

if (-not $Prop["_SaveCopyAsMode"].Value)
		{
			#region Quickstart comment out default
				#$Prop["_Category"].add_PropertyChanged({
				#	if ($_.PropertyName -eq "Value")
				#	{
				#		$Prop["_NumSchm"].Value = $Prop["_Category"].Value
				#	}	
				#})
				#$Prop["_Category"].Value = $UIString["CAT1"] # quickstart activates different categories for Inventor models, drawings and AutoCAD drawings
			#endregion
        }

Also, you need to remove the filter in GetNumSchms. Comment the line shown below; we filter the default numbering scheme:

$_temp = $numSchems | Where { $_.IsDflt -eq $true}

Your final objective requires to dynamically filter the numbering schemes. One approach (of several possible) is adding a Category selection event handler.

1) Turn off the default mapping in the Inventor.XAML file; remove the line ItemsSource="{Binding PsList[GetNumSchms], Mode=OneTime}" from the combo box definition; the result looks like this:

<ComboBox x:Name="NumSchms" Grid.Column="3"
        		SelectedIndex="0"
        		DisplayMemberPath="Name"
        		SelectedValuePath="Name"
        		SelectedValue="{Binding Prop[_NumSchm].Value}"
        		
        		IsEnabled="{Binding HasItems, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
        		Visibility="{Binding NotEditMode, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" BorderThickness="0,1,1,0" />

2) Establish the event handler selecting a category replacing the static mapping; any selection will read the available numbering schemes:

$dsWindow.FindName("Categories").add_SelectionChanged({
						GetNumSchms
					})

					#$mCatName = GetCategories | Where {$_.Name -eq $UIString["MSDCE_CAT02"]}
					#IF ($mCatName) { $Prop["_Category"].Value = $UIString["MSDCE_CAT02"]}
					#	# in case the current vault is not quickstart, but a plain MFG default configuration
					#Else {
					#	$mCatName = GetCategories | Where {$_.Name -eq $UIString["CAT1"]} #"Engineering"
					#	IF ($mCatName) { $Prop["_Category"].Value = $UIString["CAT1"]}
					#}

3) Extend the function GetNumSchms like this:

[System.Collections.ArrayList]$numSchems = @($vault.DocumentService.GetNumberingSchemesByType('Activated'))
            if ($numSchems.Count -gt 1 -and !($Prop["_SaveCopyAsMode"].Value -eq $true)) #second condition added by Quickstart
			{
				#Filter numbering according current category
				$_FilteredNumSchems = @()
				If ($Prop["_Category"].Value -eq "Categorie A")
				{
					$_FilteredNumSchems += $numSchems | Where { $_.Name -eq "A" -or $_.Name -eq "B"}
				}
				If ($Prop["_Category"].Value -eq "Category C")
				{
					$_FilteredNumSchems += $numSchems | Where { $_.Name -eq "C"}
				}
				$dsWindow.FindName("NumSchms").ItemsSource = $_FilteredNumSchems
				$dsWindow.FindName("NumSchms").SelectedIndex = 0
			}

For your convenience, I attached the Quickstart configuration modified accordingly.
