List sketch symbols in a folder

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello all,

I'm trying to copy a folder and symbol

from a drawing template to another drawing.

 

I need to read the list of folders and for each folder the list of sketch symbols.

 

Thanks for any info.

Best Regards

Massimo

Are you even trying?

 

In your last post, I directed to you to a link for a thread that has a solution for this.

 

All you had to do was extract a simple snippet from it, and then extrapolate to create a recursive function to go through the folders as well.

 

Again, the post: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/copy-sketched-symbols-with-folders/td-p/713142...

 

The snippet:

Sub List Symbols()

	Dim oPane As BrowserPane
	Dim oNode As BrowserNode
	Dim oTopNode As BrowserNode
	Dim oDwgResourcesFolder As BrowserNode
	Dim oSketchedSymbolsFolder As BrowserNode
	
	oPane = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes("Model")

	oDwgResourcesFolder = oPane.TopNode.BrowserNodes.Item("Drawing Resources")
	oSketchedSymbolsFolder = oDwgResourcesFolder.BrowserNodes.Item(4)
	
	For Each oNode In oSketchedSymbolsFolder.BrowserNodes
		oNodeName = Right(oNode.FullPath, Len(oNode.FullPath) - InStrRev(oNode.FullPath, ":", -1))	
	Next

End Sub
