Filename and Path property of iAssembly incorrect

[dylan.blystone]

I have been working in an iAssembly with multiple members, but when dropped into our titleblock the reference on the sheet to property "filename and path"  shows as the member not the actual file name (i.e.: file name is 12345.iam, contains a member named 67890, and the "filename and path" is showing on the titleblock as 67890.iam. This file of course does not exist so this is a problem. Any suggestions to a fix here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The file should be created when you put 67890 in assembly.

Open 12345 and generate the member files.

As always, add member to assembly and drawing.  Not the factory file.

This is a top-level assembly which has multiple configurations which can be built. This modular build is how I was directed to put this together. Sorry, I am a longtime SolidWorks user, so I was not familiar with how to approach this in Inventor. Is there a different method you might suggest in this case?

Use ModelState instead.  It work like config in SW.

iPart and iAssembly are "factory".

They will and need to create each "config" in it's own file.

And those files are to be used in assembly and drawing.

Not the "factory".

The factory will create a folder same name as it's file name and create all member in there.

Expand the Table, right click on a member.  Generate Files.

Do that for all members.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, it looks like model states were introduced in '22 and we are still on '21. I'll have to see when we are slated to upgrade next...

We went from 2020 to 2023.  Align with Vault update.

There probably are iLogic code to generate all iPart/iAssembly.

I have VBA macro for that.
