iLogic - Edit part list titles with part number

[anthony_hendrick]

Hi all,

I have drawings which contain a large number of assemblies. 

Each assembly comes from a master iassembly. 

Beside each assembly drawing view, I place the part list of that assembly.

I would ideally like the parts list title to display the part number of the assembly.

I am relatively new to ilogic and so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Try running this code on your drawing. You can save it as an external rule so you can run it on each one:

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

Dim eachpl As PartsList
For Each eachpl In oSheet.PartsLists
	opart = eachpl.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName
    eachpl.Title = opart

Next

Oh that's very very close!!

However it is inserting the name of the iassembly file instead of the part number

Bit of a naughty way of doing it and maybe I'll get told off, but try this:

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

Dim eachpl As PartsList
For Each eachpl In oSheet.PartsLists
	opart = eachpl.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName
	opn = iProperties.Value(opart & ".iam","Project", "Part Number")
    eachpl.Title = opn
	
Next

I just tried that there but unfortunately I am receiving the following error:

I removed the " & ".iam" " to see what would happen and it worked but it then referenced the current iasssembly reference which was selected in the iassembly file into every part list. 

Really thank you very much for being so helpful James. If it doesn't work out it's obviously cool, I just thought it would be a very nice function to have.

That's interesting, in mine it didn't pull the extension which is why I added it. 

That's the naughty bit, really you should find the instance name, but I'm not clever enough to do that. 

I've never written code for iAssemblies so that is probably where it is falling down and someone with more knowledge would probably get it working. 

Worked perfectly for me on normal assemblies though.

Ah I see. Well thanks again for trying anyway.

I have still learned something which is good.
