I have this iLogic application I copied and pasted together..
It seems to work great with a couple exceptions.
does anyone have some advice or samples or best case... re-write the attached iLogic to do this?
Sub main

For Each oVault In ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns
If oVault.DisplayName = "Inventor Vault" Then Exit For
Next
If oVault IsNot Nothing Then oVault.Deactivate

'check file type and set dialog filter

filex = ".ipt"
Else If oDoc.DocumentType = kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
'oFileDlg.Filter = "Autodesk Inventor Assembly Files (*.iam)|*.iam"
filex = ".iam"
Else If oDoc.DocumentType = kDrawingDocumentObject Then
'oFileDlg.Filter = "Autodesk Inventor Drawing Files (*.dwg)|*.dwg"
filex = ".dwg"
End If
doc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(opendoc & filex)
' Get current filename
CurrentFilename = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False)
oPart = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False)
' Check that the drawing for this assembly can be found
If Not System.IO.File.Exists(CurrentFilename & DWGType) Then
MessageBox.Show("Unable to locate the drawing file below for this part:" & vbLf & vbLf & _
CurrentFilename & DWGType & vbLf & vbLf & _
"Please make sure it's in the same folder as this part, has the same name, and has the file extension. '"& DWGType & "'", BoxNote)
Return
End If

Thank you and others for your starting code. Here's an ilogic macro for copying the part and drawing together. Basically does the same thing as a copy design in Vault.
Change log:
1. Doesn't replace it in the assembly anymore.
2. Extension will be dropped if user puts in the extension as part of its name.
3. Workaround implemented to correctly show the initial folder
4. Commented out touching the vault addin. Undesirable behaviour for my application.
5. Close out background openings of files.
6. Changed filetype to idw instead of dwg for my purposes.
7. Commented out some iproperty stuff I didn't want for what I need.
