We are moving on to IV11 and I am testing my Product Configurators, but I am
running into a major problem!!!
Somehow, IV11 SP2 (no other hotfixes) deletes the composite iMates from the
parts (IPTs) when I am generating my models.
Anyone heard of this problem before???
As far as I can tell, I have migrated our base models succesfully. Inventor
created the "match list" for the composite iMates.
My "Copy Base Model" program also works fine, as all
parts/assemblies/drawings are being copied and renamed without any errors.
The newly copied files all have their composite iMates. No problem so far...
But when I generate/built my "Main Assembly", the iMates of my PARTS are
being deleted!!! My code only INSERTS components, which are ASSEMBLIES!!!
(All with the modified code, because Autodesk changed the "AddUsingiMate"
method)
Has anyone got any clue what is going on???
