Derived Part Associative Design View Representation Check or Uncheck

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Hi,

How can I Check or Uncheck the Option "Associative Design View Representation" for derived part creation, by programming?

The following options are already found, but not the one I search for.

###.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation = "" ' Empty for make no use of any View Rep's
###.oDerivedPartDef.IncludeAllParameters = True or False
###.oDerivedPartDef.IncludeAllSolids = True or False
###.oDerivedPartDef.IncludeAllSurfaces = True or False
###.oDerivedPartDef.IncludeAllSketches = True or False
###.oDerivedPartDef.IncludeAllWorkFeatures = True or False
###.oDerivedPartDef.UseColorOverridesFromSource = True or False

That's the same question I have...

I have this controlling the default view but not sure how to access the true false of associative design?

oDerAssyDef.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation = "Default"

I am still searching too...

The only place i found this porperty : "IsAssociativeDesignView" is on the DerivedFutureAssemblyDefinition?

And on the DerivedPartDefinition.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation property, the API help documentation mentions it but says the following:

"The IsAssociativeDesignView property indicates if an associate link to the design view is created or not."

But no reference as to how you can access it when the property is a string but this property is a boolean??

Its so important to have that because i cant automate the parent assembly and have a derived part show me those changes unless this is ticked as true...

Any Help from Any Autodesk Programmers?

Hi @bradeneuropeArthur and @cencinaNB2ET 

oDerivedAssemblyDef.IsAssociativeDesignView = True

 Seems to work as expected.

Thanks a lot for this post. 😉

What version of inventor are you using?

[ThomasB44]

I'm using IV2021 with last updates.

I was using the same version when i tried this initially.

I abandoned that particular workflow because of these issues, but will have a closer look at it later when i have time.

Thank you.
