Using Inventor File Dialog to Open/Save


By Augusto Goncalves (http://adndevblog.typepad.com

Basically this FileDialog object must be initiated by the Inventor
Application, then we just need to configure some parameters and
finally show to save or to open.
If the MultiSelectEnabled is set to true for ShowOpen, then the
FileName property will return a string with files separated by |
character, where the String.Split method can generate the list of files.
Public Sub CreateFileDialog()
' create the file dialog
Dim oDLG As FileDialog = Nothing
m_inventorApplication.CreateFileDialog(oDLG)

' configure
oDLG.FileName = "C:\Temp\Temp.ipt"
oDLG.Filter = "Inventor Part Files (*.ipt)|*.ipt"

oDLG.ShowSave() ' to save files


oDLG.ShowOpen() ' to open files
End Sub

Hi Henrik,
I don't believe this is available as a built-in form inside Inventor, but you can
definitely use the .NET FolderBrowsingDialog
