How to use iLogic to return a filename of a derived part?

[Anonymous]

I'm using a derive in a model to make a design (picture 1).

For the moment I have some troubles with using iLogic rule.

First thing:

I want to get the filename without filepath (I prefer also without extension) of this derived part by using iLogic rule. 

The next thing:

I want to have this filename in an User parameter.

All I have found is:

modelFileNamewithoutextension = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(modelFullFileName) 

But this is the filename of the model... Who can help me please?

Hello @Anonymous 

This would be better posted in the Inventor Customization forum.

I have asked for this to be moved for you.

I hope you get a solution to your problem there.

hi, try this ilogic code greetings

Dim refdoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document.ReferencedDocuments.Item(1)

Dim onext As String = refdoc.DisplayName
Dim offext As String = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(onext) 

MessageBox.Show(onext, "with extension")
MessageBox.Show(offext, "without extension")

Hi, thanks.

Running this rule gives me the same result. Both is without ext.

One thing is solved.

But can you also help me with the other thing:

How can I get this filename into an User Parameter?

[Sergio.D.Suárez · Accepted solution]

You must first create user parameters, such as text.
then you must load those parameters to the rule, here is an example.

Dim refdoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document.ReferencedDocuments.Item(1)

Dim onext As String = refdoc.DisplayName
Dim offext As String = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(onext) 

MessageBox.Show(onext, "with extension")
MessageBox.Show(offext, "without extension")


Name1 = onext
Name2 = offext

Parameter.UpdateAfterChange = True
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Thank you very much!

It's solved for me.

Hello guys,

as Jan mentioned, the result of both (onext/offext) is the same. In my case, I have the following result:

First the code:

'Ermitteln der Materialangabe aus Unterkomponente

	'Auslesen der Basiskomponente
	Dim basepart As Document = ThisDoc.Document.ReferencedDocuments(1)
	basepart_name = basepart.DisplayName
	basepart_filename = IO.Path.GetFileName(basepart_name)
	
	'Auslesen der Materialangabe 
	mat_variant = Parameter.Value("GER_BEL_CAD10063859.ipt", "Materialvariante")

	'Zuweisen der Materialangabe zu Material
	iProperties.Material = mat_variant

'Testausgabe
MessageBox.Show(mat_variant.ToString & " - " & basepart_filename, "TEST")

My MessageBox shows the following:

So you wont get the filename with it, but the displayname at the browser (maybe on in most cases this is the same, but not on my config of the modelbrwoser).

What I exactly need is this:

I've tried different things, ending up with this:

oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
If oDoc.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents.Count > 0
Dim oDerComp As DerivedPartComponent = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents(1)
Dim oDerDef As DerivedPartDefinition = oDerComp.Definition.Name

But this is also giving just hte name at the modelbrowser...

Do you have any Ideas, how to get the filename?

Thanks very much in advance!
