iLogic - Open a document and change his iProperty

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm using Inventor 2013 Pro, and I use iLogic to change some iProperty of my parts (ipt).

With iLogic, I'd like to open a part (ipt) in an other folder, change his iProperty, save it and close it.

My code is :

Dim redDoc As String = "red.ipt"
Dim redPath As String = "G:\CAO\00 - Production\99 - Tests (BER)\tttttt\"
Dim oDoc As String

oDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(redPath+redDoc, True) 
iProperties.Value(oDoc, "Project", "Description") = "Description changed !"
InventorVb.Application.activedocument.Save
InventorVb.Application.activedocument.Close (True)

Why it doesn't work ?

Best regards

Hello Ronald,

You have mentioned the document as string which leads to the error. I've modified your code which works perfectly for me.

Dim oPath As String
oPath = "G:\CAO\00 - Production\99 - Tests (BER)\tttttt\"
Dim oPartName As String
oPartName = "red.ipt"
Dim opart As PartDocument
opart = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(oPath+oPartName, True)
Dim oDescription As String
oDescription = "Description123"
opart.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Description").Value = oDescription
opart.Save
opart.Close

If you find this answer helpful to you please accept it as solution 

Cheers,

SK.

I got an error with the IAM when I try to replace some parts, I think it's the same mistake but don't know the correct command :

NewIAM = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(NewEnsemble, True)
NewIAM.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Part Number").Value = NoOutil
NewIAM.Replace(OldPart, NewPath+NewPart, True)
NewIAM.Save
NewIAM.Close

OldPart, NewPath and NewPart are String variables.
