Hi everyone,

 

I‘m actually working on a macro that open the associated / related idw from a part or an assembly.

I want to implement that tool directly in inventor so that I don’t have to go through Vault to access to the idw.

 

I managed to open the instance / occurrence details by using the following command:

VaultShowDetails or VaultShowDetailsTop

 

Unbenannt.JPG

 

(German version)

 

I now want to get / edit the list of the Where used components to get the idw or idw’s in which my actual instance is used in.

 

Then I would be able to open it and to print it.

 

Do you have some ideas?

 

Cordially

 

Michel

To open the drawing. Why not just right click on the assembly in the model browser and click 'Open Drawing'?

I have no experience using via with Vault and i'm interested to know how you referenced the Vault API's.  Are they just in the reference list after installing Vault? I just assumed Vault calls had to be done with the VDF commands.

 

Michel, are you using Vault Pro or Workgroup?  If so looking up to the Item then down to the drawing is probably safer.  If not is there anything in the library that looks.sounds like WhereUSedCollection or WhereUsedDocuments?

Hello,

 

"Open drawing" would work if I would always have the same data name:

 

mickeymouse.ipt and mickeymouse.idw.

 

That's unfortunatelly not he case in our firm.

 

 

 

We are using Vault Workgroup.

 

 

 

I've not find some commands in the Inventor Addin from Vault APIs that refers the associated/ related documents.
