All,
I am trying to programmatically replace an assembly component. I have a handle to the component to be replaced and a handle to the new component. I am trying to redefine the feature by setting the value of the PRO_E_COMPONENT_MODEL in the element tree but when I do this nothing happens. I get a message in the message window that the feature was redefined but it's really not.
Additionally I am copying the original component to a new component with a new name. I want to replace the original component with the one with the new name. Therefore all of the constraints "should" not change. Am I correct in this claim?
Here is my component visit action function.
ProError ComponentVisitAction(ProFeature* p_feature, ProError status, ProAppData app_data) {
ProError pro_error = PRO_TK_NO_ERROR;
ProPart pro_part = NULL,
pro_partNew = NULL;
ProName pro_wszName;
ProElement pro_elemTree,
pro_elem;
ProElempathItem pro_aElemPathItem[] = {
{PRO_ELEM_PATH_ITEM_TYPE_ID, PRO_E_COMPONENT_MODEL}
};
ProElempath pro_elemPath;
ProFeatureCreateOptions pro_fCreateOpts[] = {PRO_FEAT_CR_DEFINE_MISS_ELEMS};
ProErrorlist *pro_errorList = NULL;
/*** Copy the piston.prt ***/
//Get the model
pro_error = ProAsmcompMdlGet(p_feature, (ProMdl*)&pro_part);
//Get the model name
pro_error = ProMdlNameGet(pro_part, pro_wszName);
//Set the new name
ProWstringConcatenate(L"New", pro_wszName, PRO_VALUE_UNUSED); //Copy the Part
pro_error = ProMdlCopy(pro_part, pro_wszName, (ProMdl*)&pro_partNew);
/*** Update the new assembly reference to the new part ***/
//Get the element tree for this feature
pro_error = ProFeatureElemtreeCreate(p_feature, &pro_elemTree);
//Allocate the element path
pro_error = ProElempathAlloc(&pro_elemPath);
//Set the path items
pro_error = ProElempathDataSet(pro_elemPath, pro_aElemPathItem, 1);
//Get the PRO_E_COMPONENT_MODEL element
pro_error = ProElemtreeElementGet(pro_elemTree, pro_elemPath, &pro_elem);
//Modify the PRO_E_COMPONENT_MODEL element
pro_error = ProElementSpecialvalueSet(pro_elem, (ProAppData)&pro_partNew);
//Free the element path
pro_error = ProElempathFree(&pro_elemPath);
//Add the PRO_E_COMPONENT_MODEL element to the element tree
//pro_error = ProElemtreeElementAdd(pro_elemTree, NULL, pro_elem);
/*** Redefine the assembly reference (feature) ***/
//Redefine the feature
pro_error = ProFeatureRedefine(NULL, p_feature, pro_elemTree, pro_fCreateOpts, 1, pro_errorList);
//Free the feature element tree
pro_error = ProFeatureElemtreeFree(p_feature, pro_elemTree);
return PRO_TK_E_FOUND; }
