Used to create a Virtual Component within an Inventor assembly.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| occurrenceName | string | (From IvCommonOccurrenceMixin) Can be used to specify the occurrence name to use (in Inventor) for the component within its parent assembly. Defaults to a string representing the relative reference chain of the part from its containing assembly part . |
| bomStructure | name | (From IvCommonOccurrenceMixin) Defines how the component (within an assembly) viewed and used in the BOM. Available choices are: :Default :Reference |
| DefaultBOMStructure | name | Defines how the component is used and viewed in the BOM. Available choices are: :Normal (this is the default) :Inseparable :Purchased :Phantom :Reference |
| BOMBaseQuantity | string | Sets the base quantity for the component. This is either the value "Each", or can be a legal units expression, e.g., "1in". |
| BOMBaseUnits | string | Sets the true unit that the component is quantified in. It can be a measure of length, volume, or mass. This is only used when something other than "Each" is specified in BOMBaseQuantity. Must be a valid Inventor units string . |
| PartNumber | string | Sets the Part Number property. Defaults to the value from the {"Part number", "PN"} sublist in the iProperty rule. The part number is set only on signature generation time of the document. It is not possible to have 2 member files that differ only by their Part Numbers . The existing assembly documents will not have their part numbers updated. |
GetNewPartNumber( docHandle As String ) As String
Used to return the value of the Part Number . May be overridden in user code. The default implementation returns the value from the {"Part number", "PN"} sublist in the iProperty rule. If no value exists, the occurrence display name is returned.
