RetrieveSymbolDefItem Interface need using demo

[元杨_10712694]

Version:Creo Parametric 5.0.6.0 OTK C++

Description: I tried a lot of combination of using RetrieveSymbolDefItem method but they seems don't get the right object.For example I'm using it like this :

pfcDetailSymbolDefItem_ptr pDefSymDefItem = pOwner->RetrieveSymbolDefItem("circlerevice.sym", pfcDTLSYMDEF_SRC_PATH);

Of course my pro_symbol_dir  is set and the symbol I want to retrieve("circlerevice.sym") is in the directory.I've tried add fullfilepath and change pfcDTLSYMDEF_SRC_PATH to pfcDTLSYMDEF_SRC_SYSTEM along with move symbol file from user defined dir to system symbol dir but the method still doesn't work.Can somebody help me?Thanks a lot. I think it would be better if those API document come with same demo code.

Yeah, sample code on these classes and stuff would be VERY nice.  I'm not as familiar with the C++ side, but I'll share my code from weblink/js.  I tried to just include the relevant bits, so apologies if I'm missing anything.

  var session = pfcGetProESession ();
  var drawing = session.CurrentModel;

    var dwgView = seledge.SelView2D;

    var stop = false;
    var point;
    while (!stop)
    {
      var mouse = session.UIGetNextMousePick (pfcCreate ("pfcMouseButton").MouseButton_nil);
      
      if (mouse.SelectedButton == pfcCreate ("pfcMouseButton").MOUSE_BTN_LEFT)
      {
        point = mouse.Position;
        stop = true;
      }
      else
        stop = true;
    }

    var position = pfcCreate ("pfcFreeAttachment").Create (point);
    position.View = dwgView;

var symDef = drawing.RetrieveSymbolDefinition ("flagnote_hex", null, null, true);

var Hexinstrs = pfcCreate ("pfcDetailSymbolInstInstructions").Create (symDef); 
Hexinstrs.ScaledHeight = 8.25;
Hexinstrs.SetGroups(pfcCreate("pfcDetailSymbolGroupOption").DETAIL_SYMBOL_GROUP_ALL , null);
var notenum = flagnote
var varText = pfcCreate ("pfcDetailVariantText").Create("NUM" , notenum);
var varTexts = pfcCreate("pfcDetailVariantTexts");
varTexts.Append(varText);
Hexinstrs.TextValues = varTexts;

var Hexposition = pfcCreate ("pfcFreeAttachment").Create (point);
var HexallAttachments = pfcCreate ("pfcDetailLeaders").Create ();	
HexallAttachments.ItemAttachment = Hexposition;

Hexinstrs.InstAttachment = HexallAttachments;

var symInst = drawing.CreateDetailItem (Hexinstrs);
symInst.Show();
