Ilogic to change Document Settings

[erichter]

Is it possible to use iLogic to change the Document Settings of a part or assembly? I want to be able to change the Visual Style within Display Appearance. I am aware that I can change this globally, but I would like to do it it within the Document Settings for each part or assembly.

Hi @erichter.  Yes.  It is possible.  Under the PartDocument (Link1, Link2) object is a property called DisplaySettings (Link3, Link4), which returns a DisplaySettings object (Link5, Link6).  That object should have most of what you are looking for.  Below is a small starter sample to get you started.

If ThisDoc.Document.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject Then
	MsgBox("A Part Document must be active for this rule to work. Exiting.", vbCritical, "")
	Exit Sub
End If
Dim oPDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oDispSettings As DisplaySettings = oPDoc.DisplaySettings
'oDispSettings.AreTexturesOn = True

PS.  A few of the other areas shown within the Document Settings dialog can be accessed through these properties of the PartDocument object:

oPDoc.ModelingSettings
oPDoc.Sketch3DSettings
oPDoc.SketchSettings
oPDoc.ComponentDefinition.BOMQuantity
oPDoc.ComponentDefinition.BOMStructure

I found it. It's NewWindowDisplayMode. Thanks!

oDispSettings.NewWindowDisplayMode = kShadedWithEdgesRendering
