link subordinate components

[Anonymous]

I'm working on an assembly that i can use as a template. i want to be able to control properties of its subordinate components by charging the top level parameters. This all works fine, but i'm figuring a problem is gonna happen when i copy the assembly an change the part names (my assumption is that ilogic will retain the old part names). is there a way to link subordinate components to a parent assembly in a way that will stay linked?

Thanks in advance!

You can link Parameters between different Inventor documents.

Here are a couple of API samples and another link that would likely be helpful in this case.

One shows you how to link parameters.

The other two are about Parameter Tables / Table Parameters.

@WCrihfield Thanks for the reply!!

I'm a newbie to ilogic, so forgive me if the answer is there but i missed it. 

Here's an example of what i need:

AssemA

CompB

CompC

CompB & CompC have a link to AssemA in ilogic

If I copy AssemA and change the name to AssemA and its components, like such:

AssemA --> AssemD

CompB -->CompE

CompC --> CompF

i want CompE and CompF to keep a link to AssemD in ilogic without having to rename variables.

Is this possible?
