Question
ListComponentsByAssemblyRule and wfcAssemblyExpressionRule return empty result.
Hi All!
My creo is creo Parametric 10.0.3.
How does the wfcAssemblyExpressionRule works ? Can not find any details. Situation goes like:
There is a part with given parameter like YEAR with value 2012.
Part is child of "activeAssembly"
After calling ListComponentsByAssemblyRule with expression "YEAR==2012" I got something in message window like :
WARNING: Symbol '�䋐ȃ' not found in model XXXXXXXX. Retrieving submodels.
where '�䋐ȃ' is totally random and varies form run to another. LogTrace shows that everything is ok with expression string and model. String is std::string passed by copy to local function. Result is always empty.
Here are lines of code
xstringsequence_ptr stringSeq = xstringsequence::create();
stringSeq->append(expression.c_str());
const auto rule = wfcAssemblyExpressionRule::Create(stringSeq);
wfcAssemblyRule_ptr targetRule = wfcAssemblyRule::cast(rule);
LogTrace(fmt::format("Searching for components with this rule {} in assembly: '{}' ", (string)stringSeq->get(0), (string)activeAssembly->GetInstanceName()));
LogTrace(fmt::format("wfcAssemblyRuleType {}", (int)targetRule->GetRuleType()));
const auto components = activeAssembly->ListComponentsByAssemblyRule(targetRule);
ListComponentsByAssemblyRule works for me with wfcAssemblyNameRule without problems.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
