I'm starting a project trying to mimic the Inventor functionality of Tools -> Edit Content Center..
Can these tasks be done? Task 1 isn't as important as 2 & 3.
1. Copying Parts from a read-only library (like ANSI) to our custom editable library
2. Adding custom columns to families within the custom library
3. Adding custom entries to these columns
Is there API support for this? If not, has anyone recommendations on where to start? I've used SQL Profiler to watch the stored procedures called on the server, but some of the data seems to be encrypted somehow.
My end goal is to connect our ERP part data base to the custom library, and push properties from the custom library to the ERP system. This will cut down on LOTS of repetative typing my engineers and scheduling dept has to do.
I guess first step is to programmatically do things to our custom library.. any ideas?
Note that I have access to Vault API, and ApprenticeServer, but not Inventor API. Planning on C#.NET. SQL Server 2000, Inventor 2008.
