I used the code above and it worked on big assemblies before. But it doesn't seems to work anymore on big assemblies :(. Anyone knows why it doesn't work anymore?

I got the following error message:

Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

edit:

This is not because of the size of the assembly. It works well on huge assemblies also!

It looks it cannot handle phantom assembly maybe?

Or spur gear created with design accelerator?

I'm trying to find out...

Yes, its spur gear created with design accelerator. Can't enable view for document. Any idea how i can add some more code so it doesnt try do enable BOM for documents? Only assemblies!

It looks like you're already checking for assemblies in your code.  Can you post a simple assembly and code that demonstrates the problem you're seeing?

[Anonymous]

It is because of the spur gear which was created with design accelerator which caused the problem. If i remove that, it works great. The spur gear looks like an assembly but is treated like a document by Inventor!?

Hi, 

Yes, the Spur Gears do look like an assembly and they are also set to Phantom in the BOM editor of the main assembly - maybe that's why you cannot enable structured BOM view for it?

But this is the same in the UI, so it's not an API issue.
