Derived part update event

[marco_suurlant]

Hello,

I’m looking for the event which causes a derived part Needs to be updating.

I tried the developer tool EventWatcher to figure out but without success.

If somebody has a sample how to do this, that will be nice.

Thanks,

Hi Marco,

I don't think there is a specific event fired when Inventor realizes that the referenced file changed.

Why would you need that? What's the exact workflow you are trying to implement?

Hi Adam,

Sorry for the late response (Holiday & Work being busy!)...
The workflow what it want to follow is for a sheet metal part.

If the Flat Pattern Definition changed in the referenced file then the derived files must use the same Flat Pattern Definition as the referenced file.

Hi Marco,

I was asking about the workflow to see if you really need an event or it would be enough to check when opening the file that is referencing another document.

If you want to keep monitoring things even after the doucment has been opened, then you might have to use some .NET filesystem monitoring to check if any relevent file got updated.

Cheers,
