Pro/Program to add inventor parts

[SYNDAKIT]

Is it possible to use Pro/Program to add inventor parts using a variable?

tried:

Use_this_part="0000499747.IPT"

Use_this_part="0000499747.ipt"

Use_this_part="0000499747"

ADD COMPONENT (Use_this_part)
INTERNAL COMPONENT ID 49
END ADD

I'm not sure if it's possible. If you're swapping parts by passing a parameter to Pro/Program you need to have an interchange assembly setup to allow you to resolve references when swapping components.

• To Interchange Components Using Relations  - Not very clear in the help documentation but you need an Interchange Assembly to do what it's saying.
• Creo Parametric YouTube - Interchange Assemblies | Replacing Components

Did you setup an Creo Interchange Assembly with the Inventor part? Not sure if this is possible either but maybe a good place to start.

I didn't set up an interchange. 
With Creo parts it works great but I just can't get it to work with Inventor parts.

You could always contact PTC support.

I sent one in yesterday. 

I feel like their #1 priority is to close tickets and not necessarily to help find solutions. A lot of the time they just say "nope, try adding it as a requested feature."

The answer is no, you can not use Inventor parts with Pro/Program using a variable.
