Hi,
I'm able to successfully list all the CSYS available in the Model using the J-Link API "Model.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_COORD_SYS)".
But I'm unable to identify the CSYS used in the Model thru J-Link. Any leads on this is greatly appreciated.

Murari,
One way to do it is through interactive selection. Here is a section copied from the API wizard.
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*\
Select a coordinate system. This defines the model (the top one
in that view), and the common attachments for the dimensions
\*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/
Session session = pfcGlobal.GetProESession ();
SelectionOptions selOptions =
pfcSelect.SelectionOptions_Create("csys");
selOptions.SetMaxNumSels (new Integer (1));
Selections selections = session.Select (selOptions, null);
if (selections == null || selections.getarraysize() == 0)
return;
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*\
Extract the csys handle, and assembly path, and view handle.
\*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/
Selection csysSel = selections.get (0);
ModelItem selItem = csysSel.GetSelItem();
ComponentPath selPath = csysSel.GetPath();
View2D selView = csysSel.GetSelView2D();
Point3D selPos = csysSel.GetPoint();
if (selView == null)
throw new RuntimeException ("Must select coordinate system from a
drawing view.");
Model2D drawing = (Model2D)selView.GetDBParent();

Hello Jim,
Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, the requirement is to run this utility non-interactively on the 3D Model.
Please let me know if there are any work-around's to achieve this. I did not come across the relevant API but not sure if I'm missing anything here.

Murari,
Actually, I have this exact same issue facing me at the moment. I am kind of hoping someone can help us out. If I find a solution, I will post it.

Will wait for updates on this post. Thanks.

Well..
If you know name of csys then use SolidModel.GetFeatureByName("CSYS0")
Better practice:
if(model.GetFeatureByName("CSYS0")==null){ JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Error: CoSys CSY missing");return false;}
Note: it will be a feature and not ModelItem and will come from Solid and not Model.
Thanks Manoj for your suggestion.
Hope I could go with a static name 😞 Unfortunately, the CSYS name is not static but is expected to be different.

For dynamic one you either have to know FeatID , Name or the position in tree.
You have a lot of option out there...
I have done that alot
