List of Part SubType and View Type Numbers

[cadman777]

Would someone please tell me where to find a list of all Numbers for the Part SubTypes and View Types?

I'm referring to that long number enclosed in braces that identifies the type of thing you're accessing in your macro.

Thanx ...

Are you talking about something that looks like "{E60F81E1-49B3-11D0-93C3-7E0706000000}" and is listed under SubType? I don't know that there is a list of those. I am under the impression that SubType is a hexadecimal hash that is used more like an ID for use in the background of Inventor (I've been wrong many times before so don't quote me on that) What are you trying to accomplish with it?

There is ObjectTypeEnum that may work for what you need. Something like

If Not doc.PrintManager.Type = 50351616 Then 'if not a .idw throw message
        MsgBox ("This macro will only print .idw files." & vbCr & "Please manually select your print settings.")
        End
    End If

or for an example of something more human friendly to read

If Not doc.PrintManager.Type = ObjectTypeEnum.kDrawingPrintManagerObject Then 'if not a .idw throw message
        MsgBox ("This macro will only print .idw files." & vbCr & "Please manually select your print settings.")
        End
    End If

GUID based - document/class sub types can be found in windows classes section of the windows registry.  File class ids are used by the Running Object Table, and many other coding avenues to know what file type is being used.  If you are diving into this level of coding for a necessary purpose, you either (1) are going deeper than needed to accomplish a task that can be done more simply, or (2) coding in at a level that is considered beyond the scope of the Inventor SDK (such as my earlier attempt to capture all the running instances of Inventor via open documents using said codes in a lookup on the ROT, a task I haven't taken the time to complete).

I though that was the case!

I found it as a short list at the end of someone's code a few hours ago.

Jamie,

I though that was the case!

It seemed way to complicated and 'deep' for this sort of thing.

Thanx for the info guys.

Guess I'll try Clusta's idea.

Cheers...

As for the DocumentSubType list:

The actual document for this is installed when you install Inventor's DeveloperTools.msi.  Then go into that folder:

DeveloperTools\Include\DocCSLIDs.h

which is a C Header Source File, that can be opened with Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.

I also recenetly published a helper post to my Contributions, just for this issue. The link is below.

Document.SubType List (Common Name = Inventors Readable Name = CLSID 

I hope this helps.

Also, here is a link to where you can find the number equivalents to the DrawingViewTypeEnums.

And, here is a link to where the regular ViewTypeEnum list, with both numbers & names, is documented.
