I have following code:

    Set structFrames = asmDoc.StructuralFrames

    Dim reqPaths(1 To 2) As Object

    Set reqPaths(1) = linSeg1

    Set reqPaths(2) = linSeg2

In a batch that I downloaded RemDimSts.exe, the program is able to remove unused TextStyles, FillStyles, Hatchstyles and Dimstyles. I would like to add LineStyles as well, but can not figure out what the object property string is that I need to add to the program. I am a newbie to this, so any help ould be appreciated.

Inquire Element - Measure Diameter by VBA

JM — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:40:56 GMT

Hi, we have adaptive part with adaptive Inner and outer diameter. Measure values for this during placing into assembly isn't easy. We tryed made macro working this way:

1) select daptive part by mouse

2) run macro on slected part (adaptive part in selecset)

3) show/pick diameter on another part (Eg. shaft) in assembly, measure it by VBA. - How we can choose part/diameter and grab the diameter? (we need sometning like "objApp.StartCommand 25072" and grab Diameter results)

4) show/pick another diameter on another part (Eg. bore) in assembly, measure it by VBA - same problem like in point 3

5) use measured values for update adaptive part - no problem (Call ObjAdjustablePart.SetAdjustables.....)

Do somebody have idea how we can try it? Thank you!

dissolve Reference to SubASM - how to??

solid81 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 02:23:19 GMT

AnyOne tried to dissolve a Reference?

I made it it works for the first level...

But I've got the problem with References to SubAsm-Parts - don't know how to dissolve it...

see the snippet below, I only get the SubAsm as an Occurrence, but not the Part the relation is related to

I know that references are there - for each hierarchical level - , but how to find the right next step reference ?

thx for any hint so that I can search in the right corner, too

Dim Relations As SolidEdgeAssembly.Relations3d

        Relations = Occurrence.Relations3d()

        For Each rel As Object In Relations
            If rel.type = SolidEdgeConstants.ObjectType.igPlanarRelation3d Then

[..]

Dim PlanarRelation3d As SolidEdgeAssembly.PlanarRelation3d = rel

                Dim ref1 As SolidEdgeFramework.Reference
                Dim ref2 As SolidEdgeFramework.Reference

                Dim Occ1 As SolidEdgeAssembly.Occurrence
                Dim Occ2 As SolidEdgeAssembly.Occurrence

                Dim RefItem1 As Object           ' RefPlane or Face / SolidEdgePart.RefPlane
                Dim RefItem2 As Object '      " / "   or SolidEdgeAssembly.AsmRefPlane

                If rel.GetElement1(True).type = SolidEdgeConstants.ObjectType.igReference Then
                    ref1 = rel.GetElement1(True)
                    Occ1 = PlanarRelation3d.Occurrence1

File Properties using VB.NET leave file locked

Bizare — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:36:12 GMT

I am converting code from VB6 to VB.net whose purpose is to access file properties. In VB6, it works just fine.
But in VB.NET, the propertysets.CLOSE() function does not seem to release the file. At any rate, the SECOND time
I call the function (on the same file), it fails at the point indicated below. Once the program exits, the file
is released. Then I can re-run the code, calling pTEST successfully the first time, but not the second time.

Any ideas how to make vb.net reliable access file properties?

SE version 20

I call pTEST like this:
sTest = pTEST("C:\drawingfiles\amaxdeck\A20000015.asm", "Title", "SummaryInformation") 'succeeds first time
sTest = pTEST("C:\drawingfiles\amaxdeck\A20000015.asm", "Title", "SummaryInformation") 'vb6 OK; vb.NET fails

*** VB6 version *** work fine every time.
Public Function pTEST(ByRef FileWithProp As String, ByRef pKey As String, ByRef pGroup As String) As String
    'Solid Edge V20 VB6

    'FileWithProp = "C:\drawingfiles\amaxdeck\A20000015.asm" pKey = "Title" pGroup = "SummaryInformation"
    Dim fPropSets As SolidEdgeFileProperties.PropertySets       'PropertySets - for files not open
    Dim fProp As Object             'Properties - for files not open
    Dim ObjProp As Object       'SolidEdgeFramework.Properties
    Dim sPropTest As String

    Set fPropSets = CreateObject("SolidEdge.FileProperties")
    fPropSets.Open FileWithProp
    Set fProp = fPropSets(pGroup)
    pTEST = fProp(pKey).value

        Set fProp = Nothing
    End If
    If Not (fPropSets Is Nothing) Then
        fPropSets.Close
        Set fPropSets = Nothing
    End If
End Function

*** vb.net version *** works right the first time, but fails the second time called for the same file.

Save As for each view -- how 2 wait for SE !

solid81 — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:09:07 GMT

One Big Problem, googled, searched in forum - nothing found !

I'd like to save each drawing view with the "saveas" method to iges,

it works if I make a breakpoint on save as !!!, because SE needs some time to open the view

with the StartCommand, (haven't found any mathod for opening the view into viewedit).

So how can i find out SE is busy?

Dim views As SolidEdgeDraft.DrawingViews = DraftDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews
        For i As Integer = 1 To views.Count

            Dim view As SolidEdgeDraft.DrawingView = views.Item(i)

            Dim NewFullName As String = IgesPath & FileName & "_" & i & ".igs"
            If System.IO.File.Exists(NewFullName) = True Then
                System.IO.File.Delete(NewFullName)
            End If

            Dim ActiveWindowName As String = SE_App.ActiveWindow.Caption
            'OpenView
            view.Select()

Problem while getting the objects using "SelectSet" property.

pthorat — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 07:59:31 GMT

I have an SolidEdge Assembly which is having an one more assembly in it .i.e assembly having a subassembly.

I am opening this assembly in Solidedge ST version application.

Then I am selecting some parts from MainAssembly and then some parts from its subassembly from path finder window , treeview.

Then , I am reading these selections using "SelectSet" property API on the main assembly

I am getting the currect total count of selected part form SelectSet property

But while reading and converting the objects in "SeletionSet', I am successful in converting the objects of main assembly parts only and while converting the objects of parts which are selected from subassembly, program does not able to convert these objects in any type of Solidedge document type.

So, please give me the information about , how I can access these parts which are selected from the subassembly using 'SelectSet' API.

For reference ,Code was written as follows.

AssemblyDocument)objApp.ActiveDocument;Occurrence objOccur = null;for (int n = 1; n <= objSelectedSet.Count; n++)try

{

objOccur = (SolidEdgeAssembly.

}

{

}

Occurrence)objSelection; //Gives error while loops for object of subassembly parts in main assembly.catch (Exception ex)throw ex;

objAsmDoc = (SolidEdgeAssembly.

objAsmOccurrences = objAsmDoc.Occurrences;

objSelectedSet = objAsmDoc.SelectSet;

SolidEdgeAssembly.

{

objSelection = objSelectedSet.Item(n);

XLS link to the part

romanes — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 05:23:23 GMT

Hello guys,

i have been trying to work with SE part (in VB) which has link to XLS worksheet (see attachment). All I need is set up 'update' option of this link to 'manual' state. Or, and this could be even better, break this link completely. There were some formulas containing XLS string inside of variable table - i already cleaned it, but it was not enough. When i open some ASM with this part (with this link to XLS), it take incredibly long time. This part is saved in shared folder (we don't use insight connect). Thank you for your help.

SolidEdge AddIn in Windows 64bit with Visual Studio 2010

decodex — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:58:11 GMT

Hi Guys,

i experienced a strange behaviour after updating to Visual Studio 2010.

When using my SolidEdge AddIn Project under VS 2008 with .NET 3.5, i had absolut no problems with AddIn Registration.
After the update, it is absolutely not possible to register the COM - Interop AddIn.

The strange behaviour is only under 64bit OS, not under 32bit OS.

When debugging my project, the AddIn Toolbar is not visible, i have to register manually.

Trying to manually registering the AddIn fails in some way because the Solid Edge Interops can not be registered properly with 64bit Version of .NET Framework (i guess this is Version 4 issue), but the AddIn so far is registered properly.

It is visible in the toolbar and I can use everything out of it as long i do not take use of any Solid Edge Interop Methods, if I do so an Exception is thrown.

Anybody a hint how to solve this one?

Thank You in Advance

Edit: My Error, when using Interop Functionality

ErrorMessage: The file or assembly 'Interop.SolidEdgeDraft, Version = 1.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = null' or one of its dependencies was not found. The system can not find the file specified.

Occurrence Properties in Sub-Assemblies

tys0n — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:22:43 GMT

I'm trying to control the occurrence properties of components in sub-assemblies. This seems to work to hide the component:

oSecBackWall.Visible = False

But I can't get control of Assembly Reports or Drawing Views at this same point. I tried:

oSecBackWall.ThisAsOccurrence.DisplayInDrawings = False

oSecBackWall.ThisAsOccurrence.IncludeInBom = False

But none of these seem to have any affect. I testes with a draft file and this component is visible in the draft file.

How can I control these properties?

Thanks

How to get active "in edit" component ?

Sergey — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:37:00 GMT

Hello to all!

Does anybody know if it's possible to get edited in place component in the assembly?

For example, a user has a simple assembly with one simple component.
The user call the command "Edit " from the context menu for the component.
The component becomes acive and we can edit it in the context of the assembly.

So, In that situation Is it possible to get the information via API that the current opened ( not active!!! [active doc is part] ) document is assembly ?( And get pointer to it )
I also need to get the pointer to the activated component (probably as Occurrence or as Reference object)
From the API reference I haven't found we way how to get that information.

Thanks.

Dimensions rebinding

Polina — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:47:38 GMT

I'm having a hard time trying to resolve my issue. Hope I'll find some answers here.

The workflow is simple:

1. Add any feature to part. Let's say it is cutout.

2. Create draft document for the part.

3. In draft document add dimension for the cutout feature.

4. Go to part document and suppress the cutout feature.

5. Return to draft document and update it. The cutout feature has dissappeared from the draft and the dimension has lost it's referenced object and became green, i.e. "dead".

6. Go to part and unsuppress the cutout feature.

7. Return to draft document and update it. The cutout has reappeared, but the dimension is still "dead".

I know how to rebind the dimension back to its reference objects manually, but I've spent a plenty of hours trying to find a way to do it programmatically.

Have anybody dealed with such issue already?Any advises/ideas?

Debugging add-in with VB.net

Tymen — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 07:56:31 GMT

I started some time ago recreating my VB6 addin in VB.NET (2008). I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

In VB6, you could add any unknown object to the watch, and then view all its properties and methods. Without declaring the object as something specific.. But in VB.NET, I can't see a single property of an unspecified object. It always says Children could not be evaluated. Only if I specifically declare it as something like, like dim objVariable as SolidedgeFramework.Variable, then it works.

Am I doing something wrong here? Or is this one of the other "cool" new features of .NET compared to the good ol' VB6?

A real Ribbon Bar...

decodex — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:49:06 GMT

Hello Guys,

i worked some weeks ago with a COM Interop for Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook) and had so far a solution for a RibbonBar with 5 different Groups and one Tab namew for the whole RibbonBar under ONE (!!!) Tab, not under a Add-In Tab.

I am quite confused (well obviously it drives me nuts), why in SE it is not possible to get the things handled like in Office... or am i blind ? I searched this forum, but haven't found a solution in c#. (only one in c++, but it will take me years to understand that one)

I used an XML - File so far to manage my RibbonBar in Office...
it looked like this:

[script removed]



          [script removed] ....

....

I have a commandBar in SE (C# solution) already. But is it somehow possible to put buttons in several groups together with a custom name in SE but under ONE CUSTOM NAMED Tab? I have a problem if a user has more than one addIn. With this case there will be groups for each addin and in addition for the groups I designed.

It seems like, if i add CommandBar and CommandBarButton that these Controls are no real RibbonBar - Controls (like the name already gives a hint about that).

But is there a solution or workaround how to handle that?

saving options

Gold Bug — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:29:28 GMT

Greetings,

I am new to the forum and to programming solid edge macros and add ins. I have been looking around for some code examples to get myself started but it is a little overwhelming.

What i am looking to do is rather simplistic but i don't know how hard it would be to code and I am not sure where would be a good place to start. Regardless what I would like is a macro that does something like this.

when the save button is pressed enter a sub that looks something like this

If CurrentFile == sheet metal then

Save CurrentFile.psm
Save CurrentFile.dxf

else if CurrentFile == Draft then

Save CurrentFile.dft
Save CurrentFile.pdf

EndIf

Eventually i would like this to lead into something that would scan a BOM and check all parts if they have a dft, dxf and pdf as needed. We need the Dxf's and pdf's for part we send out to get laser cut and having out of date files has been a problem so i would like to find a way that elimiates that problem.

Thank you Very much for any help that can be given. I am most appreciative.

I was using recursion and the occurances object, and was semi-successful, but the Excel worksheets (SmartFrames2d), that at least for us, hold the part materials and thier qty per parent, have been elusive. I believe it to be an Excel issue... the dreaded "call was rejected by callee" error telling me that Excel is still busy with its last job... Then I came across the SEPartReader.dll and WOW, how much easier and quicker it is for getting occurances. Works great and I am thrilled. But.... using DraftDataAPI.dll to get the sheet data only seems to get a picture of the data (emf file). Is there a way to get the Excel worksheet data without opening Excel within Solid Edge? Am including the (working) code for occurances and the draft emf in case anyone else is interested in it Thanks again for the great help!

Dim objSEREADERLib As New SEREADERLib.SEFileReader
Dim objAttClass As SEREADERLib.AttachmentClass
Dim objAttmnts As SEREADERLib.Attachments
If File.Exists("C:\Temp\73014012.asm") Then Kill("C:\Temp\73014012.asm")
File.Copy("ServerPath\73014012.asm", "C:\Temp\73014012.asm")
objSEREADERLib.Open("C:\Temp\73014012.asm")
objAttmnts = objSEREADERLib.Attachments()
Dim iAttCount As Integer = objAttmnts.Count
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To iAttCount
objAttClass = objAttmnts.Item(i)
msgbox(objAttClass.Filename())
Next

Dim objDraftReader As New DRAFTDATAAPILib.DraftInfo
objDraftReader.Open("ServerPath\73432005.dft")
Dim intShtCount As Integer = objDraftReader.GetSheetCount()
Dim mSheetInfo As DRAFTDATAAPILib.DraftInfoClass
Dim n As System.UInt32 = Convert.ToUInt32(objDraftReader.GetCurrentSheetIndex)
Dim rWid As Double = 0
Dim rHgt As Double = 0
For i = 1 To intShtCount
objDraftReader.SetMetafileName("C:\Temp\73432005.emf")
objDraftReader.GetEnhMetafile(n, rWid, rHgt)

How to connect Leader to DVLine in Drawing View

Ravi — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:53:26 GMT

HI,

I am trying to connect a Leader to the DVLine object in Drawing View using following method,

All the entities in Drawing view are starting with DV like DVLine, DVArc, DvCircle etc.

objLeader = objLeaders.AddByConnect(Object, X1, Y1, 0,False , X2, Y2, 0)

Here i am passing object as,

Dim DVline As SolidEdgeDraft.DVLine2d

X1,Y1 as Leader connect

X2,Y2 as end point of DVLine

I observed that Leader does not connect to DVLine but take some

Arbitrary vague point (Not the end point of DVLIne)

I checked it with the Normal line as,

Dim objLine As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Line2d

It gets connected properly.

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with it ?

Ravindra.

Luca — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 05:18:38 GMT

Hi guys!

When you open a draft file, you can set to Solid Edge Options panel (options for active document):

- Edge Display: Visible edge style, Tangent edge style, Hidden edge style, ecc....

- Dimension style: style for each type of dimension...

How can I know this information by API?

SE Spy for inventor?

ara — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 04:44:17 GMT

Hi to all

A rather unfit question for this forum maybe but – does anyone know of a similar program as SE Spy for autodesk inventor? I’ve used SESpy many times for the solid edge dept and now the inventor guys would like to have my skills working for them…

any ideas?

Color confusion in asm / occurrences

solid81 — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:08:30 GMT

Hi there

I'd like to change the style (color) of parts/asm in my top asm, but not inside the occs.

I played around with recursive walking through Occurrences and SubOccs, but
it doesn't do what i expect.

It's right what the api does, I think = changing the occs = go inside and "destroy" the style there

But I'd like to change the color only in the top-asm context,
like if i select a subasm/part in the topasm by hand and change the color of a subasm/part (this doesn't affect the subasm itself)

Anyone knows how to do it from top?
Can't find it with edgespy...
