Import list of ipt in text file into iam?

[G60Dubs]

Hi

In the process of trying to correct file errors in order to check files into Vault (via Task Scheduler)

I have a list of files in a spreadhseet and at present I am opening one at a time, correcting the error and then checking in.    Is there a way to bulk import a list of ipt in say a text file, into an iam or another method of opening a txt list of files in Inventor?  This would save me hours of time having to CTRL c, CTRL v the file path into explorer for opening.

With this yes:

Dim a As AssemblyDocument = ThisAssembly.Document
Dim ac As AssemblyComponentDefinition = a.ComponentDefinition

For Each Line In System.IO.File.ReadLines("D:\_Tests\Load.txt")

MsgBox(Line)
Dim identity As Matrix
identity = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrix

Dim aoc As ComponentOccurrence =  ac.Occurrences.Add(Line,identity)
Next

Nice.   Is there any way to supress and skip unresolved files as these will error the code?

[G60Dubs]

Not solved.   The proposed solution provides no benefit as any error in file resolution on file open or similar kicks the program out.    How would one suppress any and all errors during on each subsequent file open?

Try this:

Dim a As AssemblyDocument = ThisAssembly.Document
Dim inv As Inventor.Application= ThisApplication
Dim ac As AssemblyComponentDefinition = a.ComponentDefinition

inv.FileOptions.FileOpenOptions.SkipAllUnresolvedFilesInAssembly = True
inv.FileOptions.FileOpenOptions.SkipAllUnresolvedFilesInDrawing = True
inv.FileOptions.FileOpenOptions.SkipAllUnresolvedFilesInPart = True


For Each Line In System.IO.File.ReadLines("D:\_Tests\Load.txt")
	
MsgBox(Line)

Dim identity As Matrix
identity = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrix

Dim aoc As ComponentOccurrence =  ac.Occurrences.Add(Line,identity)
Next

Yeah that's definetely heading the right way.

Sorry for the delay in reply - Discovered my email was junkng everything from the autodesk domain. 

I do notice an issue where the 'FileOpenOptions.SkipAllUnresolvedFilesInPart' fails - Suppressed links with base components where the base component is unresolved.

Maybe one for a Dev to investigate?
