write parameters in ipt from iam using iLogic

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to write parameters to an ipt file from an assembly when the ipt doesn't exist in the assembly

Perhaps by defining the ipt file path and then its specific parameter I want to write to?

Hi, you'll have to open the part if you want to write in it, but you can open it as "hiden", so:

Dim FName As String = "C:\MyFolder\Mypart.ipt"
Dim MyPara As String = "MyParameter"
Dim oValue As String = "MyNewValue"

Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(FName, False)
Dim oParams As Inventor.Parameters = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters
Dim oPara As Inventor.Parameter = oParams.Item(MyPara)
oPara.Expression = oValue
oDoc.Update
oDoc.Save
oDoc.Close(True)
