How to open a browser window of connected PLM System (ARAS) from Inventor ilogic?

[Jakob_Hamburg]

Hi,

this is a quite specific question:

We use Inventor with Vault, but on top we have a PLM system called ARAS Innovator.

Our inventor files get a part number from the PLM system by using an add-inn, so the part in Inventor and in PLM-system share the same number.

The PLM-system runs in the web-browser (google chrome).

Unfortunately our add-inn does not support a function to open the part I am working on by one click in the PLM-system.

(I have to copy the part number and go to the plm-system's window in the web-browser and search there for the part)

So my question is: is it possible to open a browser window of connected PLM System (ARAS Innovator) from Inventor ilogic?

I share a screenshot ot the PLM System (ARAS Innovator) because my explanation might be difficult to follow.

Opening a web page is not difficult:

Dim webAddress As String = "http://www.example.com/Innovator/client/" & iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")
Process.Start(webAddress)  

But I did not see a part number in the url. If that is true it means the part number is communicated in a different way and that might be a bigger problem.

Thank you.

Yes, you are totally right, there is no part number in the url. I noticed, too.

I understand that it is the bigger problem to figure out how to communicate the part number to the PLM system.
