Detecting "Replace Model Reference" (in drawings) through an event in VBA?

[bshbsh]

Hi,

does anyone know what events fire that I could catch from a VBA macro to detect a model reference replacement? (Using the command on the ribbon)

Couldn't find an obvious one. OnInitializeDocument doesn't tell what triggered this event.

Thanks.

 Private Sub UI_OnActivateCommand(CommandName As String, Context As Inventor.NameValueMap) Handles oUI.OnActivateCommand
            'MsgBox(CommandName)
            If CommandName = "Name Name" Then

but that isn't easy in VBA.

with vb.net it is easy to implement.

I think this can be achieved in iLogic with a couple of rules.  One rule to activate whenever a drawing is open take the model part number or something specific to the model file and save it in a Shared Variable, which is basically making a variable or object visible to other rules in Inventor.  Then another rule to activate on either iProperty Change or Drawing View Change to check the part number of the replaced view against the part number in the Shared Variable.  If the comparisons are different then continue with the rule.

If this sounds like what you're looking for, let me know and I'll see if I can come up with a sample of this code.

My macro already does handle and depend on events, so this is just another, not difficult at all. 

The problem with this is, it does fire before that command is started, there's no before or after trigger, nor any feedback if the command actually ran or has been cancelled. (I could work around this however.)

You can create your before and after event. I will let you know how as soon as I am back in office, ok?
