get a part from its file name

[TONELLAL]

Hello,

I have a list of Inventor parts (path + filename), on which I need to get properties.

I know manipulate the part document once I have it, but how can I create it ?

For example :

dim myfilename as string

dim oPart as partdocument

filename = "c:\project\mypart.ipt"  'I know this file exist

'Looking for something like :

set oPart = filename

Using the API, you can find this information easily.

oPartDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(filename, boolvis)

From inside inventor you should use inventor with Inventor.documents.openwithoptions(,,)

 Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document
Dim AppInventor as Inventor.application
AppInventor= getobject(,"Inventor.application")

        Dim oNVM As Inventor.NameValueMap
        oNVM = AppInventor.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
          AppInventor.SilentOperation = False
        AppInventor.Visible = True
        AppInventor.WindowState = Inventor.WindowsSizeEnum.kNormalWindow
        oDoc = AppInventor.Documents.OpenWithOptions(FrmStartInventorExportUpdateTool.LvProgressLog.SelectedItems.Item(0).Text, oNVM, True)

From outside inventor you should use apprenticeserver with  Inventor.documents.openwithoptions(,,)
