Closing document if referenced by open assembly

[johnster100]

Hi,

is it ok to close a part a document using api:

oPart.Close()

if it is used in an open assembly in the same inventor session?

thanks a lot,

My program routinely calls that when cleaning up after an operation. I have not seen any ill effects. But you'd need to ensure the part is actually open before you call the close command, otherwise you'll get errors.

The assembly that references the part doesn't actually have the part itself open, merely referenced.

I'm open to being corrected, but this is my experience.

@johnster100,

Yes, oPart (PartDocument) should be opened before using oPart.Close() API.

Thanks and regards,
