Hello,
I'm trying to rename a skeleton, so after copying "skeleton.ipt" to a new file with a new name, i'm changing the reference of "frame.iam" using FileDescriptor.ReplaceReference. Internally it's working and the reference is changed, but then when opening the assembly on Inventor, the skeleton is not found. Any way to solve this?
Thanks!

Hi @abarbero007 ,
I might have an example for doing this programmatically, if you need to do this via code. But I wanted to make sure that you are aware that you can copy Frame Generator assemblies with the iLogic Copy Design tool, and it will update all the references correctly.
Note that you don't need to be using iLogic in the assembly for it to work.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hi @abarbero007
I didn't have an example to post (I sent you a PM), but here are the basic steps:
First you need to recursively traverse the subassemblies, there are a couple example here. You might search and find others that might be more clear, but this is the first example I found with a quick search:
Secondly, you need to copy each component as you traverse the assembly. And then you need to replace the references of each component with the new copy of each. Again here's an example, but there might be others, to look at, if you search around a bit:
I hope this helps.

Hi @abarbero007
If you can "pack and go" a simple example file set of the assembly and all the required files, and attach it here as a zip file with the code you have so far, then someone might be able to look at it and see where the problem is.
I hope this helps.
