Get custom values from ipart member

By Xiaodong Liang

Issue:
We have one ipart with the custom parameters and place this ipart in an assembly. We need to get existing custom values for a particular occurrence (ipartmember).

Solution
If you check iPartTableColumn.FormattedHeading, you will find there is such format "<free></free>" for custom column. Following is a simple sample.It assumes an assembly is opened. And the first occurrence is an iPart member.

void test()
{      
     
     // assume we have had Inventor application

    // get current assemly
    AssemblyDocument invAD =
        (AssemblyDocument)_InvApplication.ActiveDocument;

    // assume the first Occurrence is from iPart
    ComponentOccurrence invCO  =
        invAD.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences[1];
   
    // get PartComponentDefinition
    PartComponentDefinition invPCD =
        (PartComponentDefinition)invCO.Definition;  
   
    if(invPCD.IsiPartMember)
    {
        // get iPartFactory
        iPartFactory iPartfac =

             invPCD.iPartMember.ParentFactory;

        // dump the custom values
        foreach (iPartTableCell inviPTC in
            invPCD.iPartMember.Row)
        {
            String oFormatHeading =

              iPartfac.TableColumns[inviPTC.Column].

                     FormattedHeading;
            if (oFormatHeading.IndexOf("<free>") != -1)
            {
                //get value:  iPartTableCell.Value     
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(

                            inviPTC.Value.ToString());
            }
        }            
    }          
}
