Inventor 9-> IV11: Partlist conversion

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

When you open Inventor 9 drawing in the Inventor 11. It is possible to
convert partslist by
clicking right mousebutton above partslist and selecting "convert" from the
popup menu .
Is it possible to do this partslist convert in the VBA?
Is this partslist convert supported in the IV 11 or IV 2008 API?

Thanks,
Mika

Set the hidden property PartsList.Converted to True to convert the parts
list to the new type. This is available in Inventor 11.

We are also coming from Iv9, but we're jumping up to IV 2010.

When I set "oPartsList.Converted = True" it exits my sub with no error, even if I have declared "On error resume Next".

Why is this, and how can I avoid it?

The other thing I am trying to do is re-number the BoM (not the parts list). I have a reference to the BoM:

Set oBOMView = oBoM.BOMViews.Item("Structured")

but there is no obvious method to renumber. Any tips?
