This is my solution, we just skip all the data standard dialogs for multi-body parts:
in Default.ps1:
function InitializeWindow
{
#begin rules applying commonly
$dsWindow.Title = SetWindowTitle
InitializeCategory
InitializeNumSchm
InitializeBreadCrumb
InitializeFileNameValidation
#end rules applying commonly
$mWindowName = $dsWindow.Name
switch ($mWindowName)
{
'InventorWindow'
{
#rules applying for Inventor
if ($Prop['_CreateMode'].Value)
{
# the document is .iam and it is the active document
if ($Prop['_FileExt'].Value -eq '.IAM' -and $Document -eq $Application.ActiveDocument)
{
SkipMultiBodyParts $Document
}
}
}
'AutoCADWindow'
{
#rules applying for AutoCAD
}
}
$global:expandBreadCrumb = $true
}
# skip multi-body components
function SkipMultiBodyParts($doc)
{
$occs = $doc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
foreach ($occ in $occs)
{
if (IsNewMultiBodyPart $occ)
{
SetDocumentProperty $occ.Definition.Document 'User Defined Properties' 'SkipVDS' $true
}
}
}
function IsNewMultiBodyPart($occ)
{
$def = $occ.Definition
# it is part component and just created
if ($def.Type -eq 0x5000200 -and $def.Document.FileSaveCounter -eq 0)
{
if ($def.Features.Count -eq 1)
{
# it is the single only feature of the part
$feat = $def.Features[1]
# it is a ReferenceFeature derived from a part and is a solid body
if ($feat.ReferenceComponent.Type -eq 0x500A700 -and $feat.ReferencedEntity.IsSolid)
{
return $true
}
}
}
return $false
}
function SetDocumentProperty($doc, $propSetName, $propName, $propVal)
{
$propSet = $doc.PropertySets[$propSetName]
$prop = $propSet | Where-Object DisplayName -EQ $propName
if ($prop)
{
$prop.Value = $propVal
}
else
{
$null = $propSet.Add($propVal, $propName)
}
}
And in Inventor.cfg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<PathDefinition>{Workspace}\{Prop[Folder].Value}</PathDefinition>
<FileNameDefinition>{Prop[DocNumber].Value}</FileNameDefinition>
<PropertyDefinitions>
<PropertyDefinition PropertyName="DocNumber" DataType="Text" InitialValue="{PathAndFileNameHandler.FileName}" />
<PropertyDefinition PropertyName="Title" DataType="Text" InitialCopyValue="{UIString[CFG1]} {Prop[Title].Value}" />
<PropertyDefinition PropertyName="Description" DataType="Text" />
<PropertyDefinition PropertyName="Comments" DataType="Text" />
<PropertyDefinition PropertyName="Folder" DataType="Text" InitialValue="." RequiresValue="true"/>
<PropertyDefinition PropertyName="Original" DataType="Text" InitialCopyValue="{PathAndFileNameHandler.OriginalFullFileName}" />
</PropertyDefinitions>
<!--Add INEST to the SupportedFileTypes if you want VDS to handle the .inest files-->
<SupportedFileTypes>IDW,IAM,IPT,IPN,DWG</SupportedFileTypes>
<ShowCheckInDialog>True</ShowCheckInDialog>
<SkipForProperties>SkipVDS</SkipForProperties>
</Configuration>
