Hey Gang - I've seen some moderately close approximations of this (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ilogic-and-vb-net-forum/open-all-idw-in-an-assembly-from-ass...)
But nothing that quite gets me where I need to go.
I do a large amount of Copy Designing for similar-but-different jobs, and my current part numbering scheme for fabricated/manufactured details (anything that will have an .idw file associated with it) is non-descriptive/sequential, and can be stored effectively anywhere within Vault.
I'm looking for some help with a Macro that will do an 'Open Drawing from Vault' for every .ipt file in an assembly, keeping in mind there will be a large number of .ipt files that do not have or need a drawing (purchased components.)
And if we're going to go for the gold, having an option to run this either excluding files that are in a 'Released' state (as opposed to Work in Progress or Quick Change) or including them, would be great. I.e. for a first pass I would exclude all files already released, but then before releasing the job I would probably like to review them all and would want them to open.
Appreciate the help with this!
