Explicitly Assigning Reference Document to Variable Via Drawing Display Name

[dustinbagley]

I would like to assign a specific instance of referenced document in a drawing to a variable via
the display name. I can get the same results with a loop like the one below.

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oDoc As Document

For Each oDoc In oDrawDoc.ReferencedDocuments
     If oDoc.DisplayName = "Assembly1"

But I can't seem to assign it explicitly as implied here.

oDoc = oDrawDoc.ReferencedDocuments.DisplayName("Assembly1")

Is there a way to do this? Is this a syntax issue or something more? Thanks

Can you explain it n a little more detail your design intent? What is the end result to be? 

You can access referenced objects of the view via this method. Maybe this will help you.

Dim assyDocName As String =  oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.FullDocumentName

'open assembly doc invisibly  
Dim oModelDoc As AssemblyDocument = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(assyDocName, False)

Sorry, what I want to know is how to assign an assembly document to a variable in a drawing through the browser using the browser display name. I know that I can do this by looping through all of the browser display names until I find the one I want. (for each Document in DrawingDocument.ReferencedDocuments, If Document.DisplayName = String Then do something with the current Document)  But if I can directly call it without the loop, that's what I would like to do.

(Document = DrawingDocument.ReferencedDocuments.DisplayName(String)

Also, I would like to avoid using filenames because these files will be copied with new filenames

Thanks

I'm struggling to figure out your design intent. Maybe some images would help and what the end goal would be. Are your referring to the browser node label? BrowserNodeDefinition.Label() As String 

If so this can only be accessed by looping through the browser nodes.
