When I replace parts using iLogic, I have been calling them by using;
ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.Item(1)
I did this because after I replace the part, the part has a new name. In order to run the rule again I need the new name and not the old one.
I have run into a problem because I have added components to a copy of this assembly to create a new generator. I re-ordered the new parts in with the old parts assuming that the occurrence item # is always in line with the positiong of the component in the model tree. This is not the case I have found, and cannot seem to figure out the method Inventor uses to order them. I can only assume it assigns the # based on the time it was placed in the model because nothing else makes sense.
Is there a better way to go about what I am trying to accomplish? Help is appreciated!
