Choosing document type using Python and the API

[nj21997]

Hi,

I'm having difficulty importing an assembly file into python. There seems to be a conflict between the result when I use Document.Type and Document.DocumentType. The second recognises that the file is an an assembly. But the first returns the ObjectType which is what I need so that I can manipulate the assembly.

Does anyone know how I can force the object type to change?

You will probably have better luck posting in the Inventor API forum here:

Please provide some code snippet and be more specific, because I don't understand what do you want to do.

Both values Document.Type and Document.DocumentType can't be changed in any way because it is read only.
