Can you auto generate an assembly?

[ben.jakeman]

I am relatively new to Inventor and I am incredibly curious about its possibilities.

Can I write ILogic to create an assembly, prompt a user for X number of components, then place components correlating to X, and finally constraining them to a specified template? With the things I've seen since I've started using Inventor it seems like this is a possibility. Is Inventor that powerful?

Thank you!

yes it's possible to do. however, you have to explicitely define your sequence of actions.

    Dim oTg As TransientGeometry = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry
    Dim doc As Document = ThisDoc.Document

    Dim ass As AssemblyDocument = ThisApplication.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject)
    ass.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.Add(doc.FullFileName, oTg.CreateMatrix())

above is to add new assembly, simillarly you may add code to add componetns and constrain with Transient vector positions.
