Get ipt part number in an idw file

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to make a macro to export my idw files into pdf. I manage to do what I want ... till now.

My problem is that I have some idw files with several sheets and for some of those files the second sheet is not a drawing of the same part as in the first sheet. (For example, sheet n°1 is for part n°93312A and sheet n°2 is for n°93312X)

So I need to check the part number of the 3D model main view for each sheet to know if it is a second pages of my pdf or if it's another pdf.

How can I get the Iproperties of an ipt from an idw?

Thanks,

Yannick

Hi Yannick,

Please check the name of referenced document property of the any one of the drawing view in the sheet as you need.

Here is the way to get the property:

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1).ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1).ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.FullDocumentName

Hello, thanks for your answer, it's a beginning of solution for me.

Do you know how to get only the "part number" of the 3D model? (As the titleblock do when you place the first view of a drawing)

Try this...

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1).ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Part Number").Value

It's what I need and it's working. 🙂

I just changed Sheets(1) with Activesheet to have the number for each sheets.

Thank you very much Wayne
