Replace the component part in a assembly via OTK C++/OTK Java

[MurphyMin]

What i suppoesed to do if i need replace a component part in a assembly in Creo 7.0.2.0 OTK C++/Java OTK
In old version the method pfcSolid::ExecuteFeatureOps(pfcFeatureOperations_ptr, optional pfcRegenInstructions_ptr) works well,however e-support technique file tells me OTK C++/Java OTK have anther mehod with same function in this version, but i can't find the method.
The only mehod i found in help file is pfcCompModelReplace_ptr CreateReplaceOp (pfcModel_ptr NewModel), but what i should do after i have created this option,which mehod can receive this argument and execute the replacement action.
Urgent issue need your help ,million thanks!

By chance did you go through this article : https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs130146 

The usage is restricted to the actual Replace command from the UI meaning that it applies to Interchange Assemblies and Family Table change.

Replacing a component by an unrelated component is equivalent to deleting a component and assembling a new one. It is basically the behavior of from UI perspective.

[MurphyMin]

Actually , i have already tested this method but seems don't work to replace the family table member part.

Seems don't work , or maybe some mistakes i had, would you mind to show me the right method?

[remy]

First and foremost, did you try your scenario from the User Interface perspective ie from Creo Parametric "pick and clicks commands"?

Can you confirm it works?

If yes, can you attach the model to the thread?

[MurphyMin]

This operation is okay in Creo parametric UI , and have done this operation many times manually,In Creo 5.0 the operation is also okay by otk c++/vb api/

[remy]

Our thread has remained idle for weeks. Apologies for delay in coming back to you.

thank you for your confirmation. After searching CreateReplaceOp in the knowledge base, i found this article ; https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs367218 

It introduces the method wfcWAssembly::AutoInterchange() 

Did you try it?

[MurphyMin]

Thanks, Already done, the method wfcWAssembly::AutoInterchange()  is okay foy my solution.
