Looking for a solution to renaming documents .programmically

[Anonymous]

Im looking for a solution to renaming parts and subassemblies. Updating their references in drawings and assemblies.programmically.

We are using Inventor 2011.

I tried using SaveAs but it really boogers up files badly.  (Problems with PartNumber Property not not changing).

What is the recommened way to do this in VBA?

Thanks

Hi Gruff,

I have not a code with VBA. But i suggest with the SDK sample:  SDK->UserTools->CopyDesign which demonstrates how to get the assembly and parts file copied and renamed, and the file references replaced. The sample uses Apprentice.

Thank you for the response,

I will look at the sample.  Hopefully the full inventor API supports the same tools as apprentice as I have to write this in VBA.
