Ilogic "Make Components" Automation.

[C_Haines_ENG]

Ive seen this posted once or twice, but never with a good anwser. I would like to emulate the "Make Components" application in Inventor, to extract all solid bodies in a part file. With a template and directory. 

Some suggest this isnt possible but I have a feeling it is, on a previous post of this some code was provided that does a decent job of this, but if a component is hidden it will not copy it and will also copy along multiple sketch features? Its odd, but id like to know if anyone has figured out a way to do it consistently.

Can you please describe exactly what you try to do, step by step. I think when I understand you correctly, this should be possible.

Essentially, the "Make Components" feature will extract all of the individual extruded solidbodies from a single part.

I want to make a rule that when run, will create an individual part file for each of the solid bodies while maintaining its co-ordinate location so using them later will be easier. Ive seen this command be run but it includes all of the sketch bodies and projected data and really throws the functions of some things off.

Here is a vba post that might be of some use. Maybe you can try and see what you need to adjust.

What do you want to do different than with the option "Make Parts" or "Make Component" from Inventor selves?
