Hi Tom,
A colleague in Inventor Engineering confirms that there is not a direct way to replace a component with an SAT and have it be a part.
>> >>
If users directly specify a SAT for the ComponentOccurrence.Replace method, Inventor will import the SAT using default settings(which will import the SAT as assembly).
If the user wants to open the SAT as a single part with multiple solids, he/she can use below VBA code to import the SAT, and then save the part document and use it to replace the component:
Sub ImportSATSample()
Dim oSat As TranslatorAddIn
Set oSat = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{89162634-02B6-11D5-8E80-0010B541CD80}")
Dim oDM As DataMedium
Set oDM = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium
Dim oContext As TranslationContext
Set oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
oContext.Type = kDataDropIOMechanism
Dim oOptions As NameValueMap
Set oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
oDM.MediumType = kFileNameMedium
oDM.FileName = "C:\Temp\Sat.sat"
' Import SAT as a single part with multiple solid bodies
oOptions.Add "ImportAASP", True
oOptions.Add "ImportAASPIndex", 0
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Add(kPartDocumentObject)
Call oSat.Open(oDM, oContext, oOptions, oDoc)
oDoc.SaveAs "C:\Temp\Sat.ipt", False
End Sub
