Parts List File Type Symbol API

[evan.wondra]

I am trying to create an iLogic rule that edits a parts list in a drawing document based on what type of file each row is. The parts list knows the difference between assembly, sheet metal, standard part, and content center files because the file type symbol shows in the parts list (see image). Is there any API that allows me to access each of those symbols, basically saying "If that symbol is a content center symbol, then put "CONTENT CENTER" in the description".

Thanks for any help on this.

If its a parts list than you can just check what kind of file it is. I can throw together some code if you need.

If you could provide what that API would look like that would be great! It sounds like what I have been looking for.

This should work:

Sub Main
	
	Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document
	
	Dim oList As PartsList = oDoc.ActiveSheet.PartsLists.Item(1)
	
	For Each oRow As PartsListRow In oList.PartsListRows
		
		For Each oBOMRow As DrawingBOMRow In oRow.ReferencedRows
			For Each oCompDef As ComponentDefinition In oBOMRow.BOMRow.ComponentDefinitions
				
				Select Case oCompDef.Document.DocumentType
					Case kPartDocumentObject
						
						If oCompDef.IsContentMember
							
							oRow.Item("DESCRIPTION").Value = "CONTENT CENTER"
							
						Else
							
							oRow.Item("DESCRIPTION").Value = "PART"
							
						End If
		
					Case kAssemblyDocumentObject
						
						oRow.Item("DESCRIPTION").Value = "ASSEMBLY"
					
				End Select
	
			Next
		Next
	Next
	
End Sub

Awesome, that worked! Thank you
