Validate File
The PartChecker panel from the PowerPack for Inventor Ribbon contains the Validate File command. It checks the files to verify if certain conditions are met.
The command can be found within a part (*.ipt), assembly (*.iam), presentation (*.ipn) or drawing environment (*.idw or *.dwg).

Validation Rules
First you need to define the condition rule. The default rules are those from the "Default_Validation_Rules.xml" file which is located in the path "C:\ProgramData\Graitec\Advance Extensions 2023\Advance PowerPack\Inventor\Resources".
View the xml file "Default_Validation_Rules.xml" to see the different conditions examples.
It is also possible to create your own .xml file with the desired condition. Browse and select the desired file under Validation rules.
Recursively over all Referenced Files
Check this option if the referenced files of the drawing or if the sub-assembly/components of an assembly should be checked as well.
