Hi Sir. Thanks for your reply

 

I'm using Creo 3.0 'ProSolidBodySurface' is not available, so I use 'ProSolidSurfaceVisit' but i don't get any value.

my query is I wanna visit each ASM component then i want to visit each component surface.

 

for visiting each ASM component i use 'ProSolidDispCompVisit' is this correct or else i need to add any API call?

At top level the component/feature ID is the path. Next you need to use ProAsmcomppathMdlGet(path in, model out). This model handle can be used to get all surface ids.

 

#

# Tcl code

# syncronous mode with an active assembly

#

foreach FID [ps_visit type COMPONENT] {
  set Model [ps_assy component $FID]
  set SurfIDs [ps_visit surfaces $Model]

# Now SurfIDs will contain a list of all surface IDs in Model

}

 

Note: If the component model is an assembly you may call the function recursive, because an assembly may not contain surfaces! And take care about the feature status.
