Inserting a part into an assembly

[Anonymous]

Hi all could anyone point me in the right direction in regards to inserting
a part into an assembly as far as i can gather it is the Add Component
Occurrence Example in the API help is this correct or not.

Thanks Wayne

Wayne,

That's the right method. Take a look at the sample titled "Add Component
Occurrence" in the online help. It demonstrates this method.

If i copy and paste the code from the example Add Component
Occurrence into VB why do i get an error message what am i doing wrong it
says ActiveX cannot create
component.

Could someone point me in the right direction
Thanks Wayne

Is the filename that's specified in the Add method correct? That's my only
guess at this point without having more information. There's another sample
you can try too. Run the AutoBolts samples that's delivered with Inventor.
There's small problem with that sample. Before you run it delete the file
in the "Bolt Library" directory.

AutoBolts didnt do the trick for me either but maybe you can tell me the
example from the API help file that uses the MSCal control is there info
missing from that doucment as it doesnt say how to actually add the control
to the prowser pane it seems to miss out a section of important info. ??

wrong for you though?

The first set of code in the online documentation is incomplete. There was
a cut and paste problem. Here's the complete set of code for the Form_Load
function.

' Declare variable for the calendar control.
Private WithEvents oCal As MSACAL.Calendar

' Declare global variables for the Inventor document and Application.
Private WithEvents oDocEvents As DocumentEvents
Private oPane As BrowserPane
Private oApp As Inventor.Application

Private Sub Form_Load()
' Set a reference to a running instance of Inventor.
' This expects Inventor to be running.
Set oApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application")

' Get the active document. This assumes a document is open.
Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document
Set oDoc = oApp.ActiveDocument

' Connect to the documents events. Used to
' listen for when the document is closed.
Set oDocEvents = oDoc.DocumentEvents

' Create a new browser pane using the Microsoft calendar control.
Set oPane = oDoc.BrowserPanes.Add("Calendar", "MSCAL.Calendar")

' Set a reference to the calendar control
' that was created on the pane.
Set oCal = oPane.Control

' Set the calendar to todays date.
oCal.Today

' Make the new pane the active pane.
oPane.Activate
End Sub
