bulk place separate ipt files in separate IDW's

[pepijnU6P68]

Hello
i'm still new to the ilogic and automatization of inventor.
currently i'm trying to make labels of all our products, to do this I like to place al the IPT file in an IDW template. All IPT files will have the correct home view .
is this possible with ilogic an sheet formats or another automation program?

(see photo of what the result would need to look like)

thanks in advance

This is possible.

But if you want just export the images from parts, you can use direct export of this image without drawing. When you use 3D annotations, you can get "dimensioned drawing" from model.

Hello Michael, thanks! this looks like a good way to do this. Maybe a stupid question but the "dimensioned drawing" i can get by export to image after (like you said) place dimensions on the drawing ?

Sorry, I forget to save the document before uploading.

Here is new samples with code for export preview from model

Code sample

Dim part As Document = ThisDoc.Document

'Create new document view
Dim view As Inventor.View = part.Views.Add()

'Setup view for export
view.DisplayMode = DisplayModeEnum.kWireframeWithHiddenEdgesRendering
view.ShowAmbientShadows = False
view.GoHome()
'etc.

'Setup background color
Dim backgroundColor As Inventor.Color = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(255, 255, 255, 0)

'Get current view camera object
Dim camera As Camera = view.Camera
'Export image
camera.SaveAsBitmap(part.FullFileName & ".jpg", 600, 600, backgroundColor)

'Close temporary view
view.Close()
