Is there a way to automate file naming with iparts with custom parameters? Also, what is the difference between the following icons? Thank you!

Custom iParts have to be named manually upon insertion. Click on the browse button to place and name the factory.
The first icon is a custom iPart child in a assembly.
The second is a normal ipart child in an assembly
The last icon is an iPart factory (parent).
See my site for tutorials on iParts.

No, that is one of the gotchas for custom iParts. You can automatically generate file names for regular iParts but not custom ones.

. Think they're every going to put that in another inventor iteration? Or can you use a vb script to do that?

I'm pounding on them to do that. Don't think VB can do it wither as that part of the API is not exposed.
