Mar 8, 2004 #2 SeanDotson Mechanical Aug 13, 2003 167 Custom iParts have to be named manually upon insertion. Click on the browse button to place and name the factory. The first icon is a custom iPart child in a assembly. The second is a normal ipart child in an assembly The last icon is an iPart factory (parent). See my site for tutorials on iParts.

Mar 8, 2004 Thread starter #3 Nuson Mechanical Sep 13, 2003 11 Thank you Sean. Is there a way to automate naming? For instance, if I have an ipart for an 8020 extrusion, and I want the file to be named according to my custom length like: 1010 - <length>. Is there a way to do that? Thank you again.

Mar 9, 2004 #4 SeanDotson Mechanical Aug 13, 2003 167 No, that is one of the gotchas for custom iParts. You can automatically generate file names for regular iParts but not custom ones.

Mar 14, 2004 #6 SeanDotson Mechanical Aug 13, 2003 167 I'm pounding on them to do that. Don't think VB can do it wither as that part of the API is not exposed. Sean Dotson, PE Inventor Tutorials & More http://www.sdotson.comYour Webbased mCAD Discussion http://www.mcadforums.com Upvote 0 Downvote
