You can retrieve this information by getting the symbol instance attachments.  Use the following functions:

1. ProDtlsyminstDataGet

2. ProDtlsyminstdataAttachmentGet

3. ProDtlattachGet

Then you can retrieve the model item from the ProSelection object.

Hi Patrick Williams

Thanks for your response.

But I am getting -2 Error in ProSelectionModelitemGet.

Here I attached Sample code for the same.

ProDtlsyminstdata symInstData;

proErr = ProDtlsyminstDataGet(symInst, PRODISPMODE_SYMBOLIC, &symInstData);

ProDtlattach attachment;

proErr = ProDtlsyminstdataAttachmentGet (symInstData,&attachment);

ProDtlattachType type;

ProView view;

ProVector location;

ProSelection attach_point;

proErr = ProDtlattachGet (attachment, &type, &view, location, &attach_point);

ProModelitem p_mdl_item;

proErr = ProSelectionModelitemGet (attach_point, &p_mdl_item); //Here I am getting – 2 Error.

ProName objmdlName;

proErr = ProModelitemNameGet(&p_mdl_item,objmdlName);

Can you help for correct result.

Thanks in advanced.

Read the API Wizard for ProDtlattachGet.  You need to analyze the attachment type before unpacking the ProSelection object.  It may not be populated based upon the type.

Hi,

You could try ProDtlsyminstFeatureGet() to get related feature and then ProFeatureSolidGet()
