Deleting clientgraphics on file close

[sanjaysy]

I have a macro which displays part information in drawing area of Inventor as clientgraphics.
In iam file clientgraphics of all the parts used in the iam is displayed & nothing is in readable state.
Could you help me to delete the clientgraphics whenever the file is closed or deactivated.

Thanks in advance

Hello Sanjay,

take a look at the attached file. Maybe it can help you.
There are some information regarding ClientFeatures.

Bye.

Hello Sanjaysy

You need to catch the event regardind Close or Deactivate and you can place the code lines below inside the event catcher.

"Dim oClientGraphics As ClientGraphics
Set oClientGraphics = oCompDef.ClientGraphicsCollection.Item("Your Client Graphic Name")
oClientGraphics.Delete"

Of course you need to check if oClientGraphics variable has or has not objects.
I had not understand your question.

See you.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but client graphics aren't saved. The
only exception to this being if you create client graphics associated with a
client feature. But you should only be doing that if you want to be able to
save them. Otherwise you can create standard client graphics, whose
lifetime is only while that document is open. You can easily verify this by
creating client graphics, saving the document, closing it, and reopening it.
You won't see the client graphics since they weren't saved.
