How to delete only the suppressed parts from an assembly in creo

[DS_12573442]

Hello,

I want to delete only the suppressed parts from creo assembly using protoolkit.

I am able to delete using the feature_ids with the function ProFeatureDelete(), But, it is deleting all the parts of the feature_ids I provide, irrespective of the status (active and suppressed)

I want it to filter out between active and suppressed parts ,and then only delete the suppressed ones.

Thanks and Regards,

One method that comes to mind would be to traverse the assembly tree using ProSolidFeatVisit, this has a filter action ProFeatureFilterAction.

Within the filter action, you could use something like this:

ProError UserAsmCompFilter(
	ProFeature *feature,
	ProAppData app_data)
{
	ProError status;
	ProFeattype ftype;
	ProFeatStatus fstatus;

        //Only want to consider assembly components
	status = ProFeatureTypeGet(feature, &ftype);

	if (ftype == PRO_FEAT_COMPONENT) 
	{
		status = ProFeatureStatusGet(feature, &fstatus);

		/* Assume we only want NON-active features */
		switch (fstatus)
		{
		case PRO_FEAT_ACTIVE:
			return(PRO_TK_CONTINUE); //Skip past the active components
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_INVALID:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_INACTIVE:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_FAMTAB_SUPPRESSED:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_SIMP_REP_SUPPRESSED:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_PROG_SUPPRESSED:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_SUPPRESSED:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		case PRO_FEAT_UNREGENERATED:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;

		default:
			return(PRO_TK_NO_ERROR);
			break;
		}
	}
	else
		return(PRO_TK_CONTINUE);
}

This will then step into the visit_action with the component you want to delete, from here you can obtain the model details of the part you are at with ProAsmcompMdlGet, and then use ProMdlDelete

Thanks, I tried implementing this solution, using ProMdlDelete and also used ProSolidFeatVisit to visit the components and then only delete the suppressed features. But, still it is failing to filter them out. 

How can I use ProFeatureWithoptionsDelete()  and ProFeatureDelete() to then filter out the parts with the help of the suppressed feature Ids?

Get the assembly feature IDS, check that the feature is a component. If true get the feature status and decide what to do. To avoid miss leading status, because you have Undo/Redo, it might be better to save the part upfront.
