Where used list
Hi everyone,
Iām actually working on a macro that open the associated / related idw from a part or an assembly.
I want to implement that tool directly in inventor so that I donāt have to go through Vault to access to the idw.
I managed to open the instance / occurrence details by using the following command:
VaultShowDetails or VaultShowDetailsTop
(German version)
I now want to get / edit the list of the Where used components to get the idw or idwās in which my actual instance is used in.
Then I would be able to open it and to print it.
Do you have some ideas?
Cordially
Michel

I have no experience using via with Vault and i'm interested to know how you referenced the Vault API's. Are they just in the reference list after installing Vault? I just assumed Vault calls had to be done with the VDF commands.
Michel, are you using Vault Pro or Workgroup? If so looking up to the Item then down to the drawing is probably safer. If not is there anything in the library that looks.sounds like WhereUSedCollection or WhereUsedDocuments?

Hello,
"Open drawing" would work if I would always have the same data name:
mickeymouse.ipt and mickeymouse.idw.
That's unfortunatelly not he case in our firm.
We are using Vault Workgroup.
I've not find some commands in the Inventor Addin from Vault APIs that refers the associated/ related documents.
