In the above figure I am placing the door at location read by my Json file using Inventor API
The parts are placed at the location lets say C:\abc\def , so I call the main part and then create the copy of that part by the code shown below , now in this file path mention above I have the door assembly folder in which door and its assembly is placed which then called and get placed as we can see in above figure.
Code is :
foreach (var entry in parameters) // Variable entry is created and the JSON data gets asssign one by one to it
{
string partName = entry.Key; // Part name inorder to pass it to string and run in common loop
List<ComponentOccurrence> componentList = new List<ComponentOccurrence>();
int index = 0;
string location;
if (files_component.Contains(partName + ".ipt"))
{
location = IOPath.Combine(inputFilesDir, partName + ".ipt"); // this is used to open the file in input directory
}
else
{
location = IOPath.Combine(inputFilesDir, partName + "_assembly\\" + partName + ".iam"); // this is used to open the door.iam files in the input directory
}
foreach (var componentData in entry.Value) // It takens the value and pass it to component data and that starts assigning values to transformation matrix
{
Matrix transformationMatrix = TransformationMatrix(componentData); // transformation matrix is taken from Matrix creation
ComponentOccurrence componentOccurrence = null;
if (index == 0)
{
componentOccurrence = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.Add(location, transformationMatrix); //Placing the original part firstly and then moving to else part for create copy method
componentList.Add(componentOccurrence);
document = (Document)componentOccurrence.Definition.Document;
}
else // It is use to create the copy after first part is place
{
componentOccurrence = create_copy_component(asmDoc, transformationMatrix, componentList[0], partName + index.ToString(), location); // it creates the copy of the component and then place in Inventor
document = (Document)componentOccurrence.Definition.Document;
}
}
private ComponentOccurrence create_copy_component(AssemblyDocument asmDoc, Matrix oPositionMatrix, ComponentOccurrence Component_, string name, string location)
{
Document partdoc = (Document)Component_.Definition.Document;
String CopiedFile ;
var docType = partdoc.DocumentType;
switch (docType)
{
case DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject:
var asm = partdoc as AssemblyDocument;
CopiedFile = name + ".iam";
break;
case DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject:
var ipt = partdoc as PartDocument;
CopiedFile = name + ".ipt";
break;
default:
throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Unexpected document type ({0})", docType));
}
String OrigFile = partdoc.FullFileName;
var component_dir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(OrigFile);// path to original file
// path to copied file
string Part_Path_copy_1 = System.IO.Path.Combine(component_dir, CopiedFile);
try
{
System.IO.File.Delete(Part_Path_copy_1); // use to delete the exisiting parts in the present directory
}
catch (IOException)
{
Console.WriteLine("The specified file is in use. It might be open by Inventor");
}
inventor_app.FileManager.CopyFile(location, Part_Path_copy_1, FileManagementEnum.kCopyFileMask); // API for the copied part and the return of that documnet which can be used in the above functions
ComponentOccurrence Copy_part = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.Add(Part_Path_copy_1, oPositionMatrix) as ComponentOccurrence;
return Copy_part;
}
Now my question is when I change the json file and want that the door file should be placed twice instead of one
the first door gets placed perfectly , but as soon as the second door get placed , both the door changes their dimension
The first door converts itself two seconf door as seen in figure
Why this is so
Is this because I am using the same parts between the components
What can be the solutions ?
I have to also create the copy of that copy door parts if yes , so how can that door can recognized I have to take the copy parts only
Can someone please take me out from this
Thank you in advance
