Check if part is a native Autodesk Inventor document (iam, ipt or idw.dwg)

[isocam]

Can anybody help?

If I open, using Autodesk Inventor, a SolidWorks/SolidEdge/Catia etc document (assembly, part or drawing), is it possible using an Inventor VBA macro, to check if the opened part is not a native Autodesk Inventor document?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

     you may check file name extension to find this.

Karth,

If you import a SolidWorks document into Inventor the filename extension sldpt, for example, gets automatically converted to the Inventor file name extension ipt, so using the filename extension you mentioned will not work.

Kind Regards

I dont have a (SolidWorks/SolidEdge/Catia) file to test with but when i import a step file there is usaly a converion log thing in the model browser. you could check with code if its there.

If you can share a none confidential SolidWorks/SolidEdge/Catia file. Maybe then i can help you a bit more.
