Hacking I-DEAS model files

[mattninja]

What if I have a model file, and I want to know the top level assemblies and all independent parts and drawings in the file? Here's the catch: I can't open the file in I-DEAS. Is there anything easily accessible within the data of the file that would clue me in? Anything at all???

Hi Mattninja,

It depends on the I-DEAS version you are using. In I-DEAS 8, I don't know of a way to do this. In 7 or earlier, you just select the model file in "Manage Items", then click on the "Report" button.
