iLogic that tells the difference between parts and assemblies?

[jddickson]

Is it possible to make an iLogic if statement that can tell the difference between parts and assemblies? I want to add iLogic to our (part and assembly) templates so that when placed in the drawing level the parts list description will be different. I know that this is not the proper way to do it and there are better ways but I need to know if this way is possible. I would appreciate any help that you could give.

Example:

At assembly level I want the description (custom I property: Description 1) to populate the parts list.  

At part level I want the description (custom I property: Description 2) to populate the parts list.  

Thanks

JD

The following should get you rolling:

DocType = ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType

If DocType  = DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
    'it's an assembly file
Else If DocType = DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject Then
    'it's a part file
Else If DocType = DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject Then
    'it's a drawing file
End If

Alternatively:

Select Case ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType

Case DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject
    'it's an assembly file
Case DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject
    'it's a part file
Case DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject
    'it's a drawing file
Case Else

End Select

OR:

Select Case True 

Case ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject
    'it's an assembly file
Case ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject
    'it's a part file
Case ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType =DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject
    'it's a drawing file
Case Else

End Select
