Accessing Preparation Items in Drawing View - Model State, iLogic code (API)

[ReneRepina]

Hello,

is there any possibility to access Preparation Items inside Drawing View - Model State dialog with iLogic code (API)?

I also saw few thread regarding accessing the "Model State" inside "Drawing View" is not possible. Is there any new news (or implementation) on that?

Best regards,

Rene Repina

The DrawingView.SetWeldmentState allows you to set the weldment state circled in the picture. Please refer to the documentation for more details:

@YuhanZhang Thank you for your help! This is what I needed.

Dear Rocky @YuhanZhang ,

doing some additional research on this topic I have landed at this video from @Anonymous.sekar.g which makes me think that the following code:

Sub TEST()
Dim oDrawDoc as DrawingDocument
Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet as Sheet

Dim oWeldState As WeldmentStateEnum
Dim oWeldObject As Object
Dim oDrawView As DrawingView
For Each oSheet In oDrawDoc.Sheets
  For Each oDrawView In oSheet.DrawingViews
    If oDrawView.ViewType = kStandardDrawingViewType Then
      Call oDrawView.GetWeldmentState(oWeldState, oWeldObject)
    End If
  Next
Next
end sub

fails on the method GetWeldmentState (as it is in happening in my specific case as well).

So I imagine that sometimes in the past you have addressed the INVGEN-17324 issue.

Would you be so kind to share on which release/update this issue has been addressed, or eventually share the right syntax to use this method?

...oh... I just discovered that INVGEN-17324 has been fixed on 2020  😓

You're right, it was fixed for Inventor 2020.
