Important for developers working with Level Of Details

[adam.nagy]

As Garin mentioned in this post, one of the new features the team has been working on is Model States.

This might have an effect on some of the Level Of Details related functions, events, and properties in the API.

If you are using any of those, the best thing to do is join the beta program where you can find more details about this functionality and can also use pre-release versions (alphas and betas) of Inventor to test your add-in.

I think that this idea needs some kind modification from the development teams both Vault(-pro) and Inventor!

Hi @JelteDeJong, very good post (fix the link, though :))

Just a thought about the naming.
I found the factory/member names which recall to iPart's naming very appropriate. Model states implementation is very similar to the iparts one, the factory is the document with the excel table, it contains all the members data and always has an active row. The member document is a document that is an instance of the factory document to which it is linked (what we get from FactoryDocument property). Unlike the ipart the factory and the members are all documents in the same file.
