Opening drawing files of part files in assembly, master model approach

Opening drawing files of part files in assembly, master model approach

Opening drawing files of part files in assembly, master model approach

(OP)
I have an assembly, containing about 40 parts.
Each part has it's own drawing file attached via the master-model aproach.
Is there a way to open all the drawing parts at once (just like all the parts are opened ) when opening the assembly ?
So opening assembly results in opening part1, part2 and part1_dwg, part2_dwg etc...

RE: Opening drawing files of part files in assembly, master model approach

Yes, there is. It's called NX API programing.
Just tell your code to run thru all the unique parts opened in your top level assembly, grab their database part number and revision, translate that into your company scheme for drawings number and open each of them sequentially.
