So here is my issue, I can add parts/components to assemblies, however, whenever I add the same one, because it has the same name as a previously added part/component, then it deletes the initial one in order to place the new one.
How can I tell ilogic that if I have the same part/component already in an assembly to simple add the ":2" or ":3" and so on?
Here is an example of what I do to add a new component:
Dim ComponentA = Components.Add("partA", "partA.ipt", position := pointA, grounded := True, visible := True, appearance := Nothing)
Note : this is all part of an "if" "then" statement so it may happen that "partA" appears again because the excel spreadsheet I use to determine which part to add satisfies that statement.
Thank you in advance for your help

Try this code, this will insert the component and name it as if it were inserted manually.
Dim ComponentA = Components.Add("", "partA.ipt", position := pointA, grounded := True, visible := True, appearance := Nothing)

I can't believe it was so simple!
Thank you so much and have a great day!
