Save Assembly to new location and delete parts

I have a main assembly.  Using ilogic I have created a configuration of parts and sub-assemblys.  Once I have a configuration I like, I want to click a button and save a "copy as" to a new folder, and a different name.  Would like all the used parts & sub-assemblys to be placed in this new folder too.  Also I want to delete suppressed parts and sub-assemblys in the main assembly as its saved, also I want parts in sub-assemblys deleted too, they will be suppressed. My sub-assemblys have components suppressed that I want deleted too.  After all this is done I would like to have the original assembly opened again, or maybe it didnt close at all.

 

Below I have code that will save the master assembly to a specified folder and some parts, and it deletes all main assembly suppressed parts and suppressed sub-assemblys but not the parts and sub-assemblys that are suppressed at the sub-asembly level, if you know what I mean.  The below code also doesnt copy over all the sub-assemblys. I want it to work lile packNgo.

 

Here is my code:

 

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

 
'Deleting the suppressed parts from the assembly
Dim oComp As ComponentOccurrence
Dim oComps As ComponentOccurrences
oComps = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences

For Each oComp In oComps
If Component.IsActive(oComp.Name) = False Then oComp.Delete
On Error Resume Next
Next

'Delete Empty Folders
oDoc = ThisDoc.Document
oPane = oDoc.BrowserPanes("Model")
oTopNode = oPane.TopNode
'Iterate through the browser folders
For Each oFolder In oTopNode.BrowserFolders
i = 0
'Iterate through the nodes in the folder
oFolderNodes = oFolder.BrowserNode.BrowserNodes
For Each oNode As BrowserNode In oFolderNodes
'count the nodes
i = i+1
Next
'delete the folder if the count = 0
If i = 0 Then
oFolder.Delete
Else
End If
Next





'Saving a copy of the assembly components
Dim refDocs as DocumentsEnumerator=ThisDoc.Document.AllReferencedDocuments
 
Dim compCount As Integer = refDocs.Count
 
For j = 1 To compCount
    'refDocs.item(j).SaveCopyAs( "C:\MyPath\Parts\Part" & j & ".ipt", False)
    refDocs.item(j).SaveAs( "C:\Users\aws01\Documents\Library\Pole Configurations\Parts\Part" & j & ".ipt", False)
Next

'Saving a copy of the assembly document
 'ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs( "C:\MyPath\Assembly\PoleConfig.iam", False)
 ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs( "C:\Users\aws01\Documents\Library\Pole Configurations\Assembly\PoleConfig.iam", False)
 
 
 '---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 'Save DWF File
 Test=InputBox("Add File name", "Please Add your file name", "Prefix number - File")

If (Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(Test)) Then

     System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Test)

End If
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs("C:\Users\aws01\Documents\Library\Pole Configurations\" &Test &".dwf", True)
'ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(Test & "\" &Test &".iam", True)


Thanks
