Renaming schemes API

 

Woodwork for Inventor requires the copying of assemblies, which requires new file names to be given to the assembly components being copied.

These copying functions are available in the following locations:

▪Assembly Copier

▪iBox Attachment

▪Smart Hardware Attachment

 

Each of these functions has its own settings for renaming files during copying. For example, the iBox mechanism uses System settings. However, in practice, there are cases where the control provided by the Assembly Copier or Woodwork for Inventor settings is not sufficient. The Renaming Schemes API allows to create your own add-ons that implement user-defined logic on how components should be renamed during the copying or renaming process. In addition to being able to control file names, the add-on also allows you to change the values of any iProperty or Custom iProperty.
