i wanted to retrieve the generic part, and it has available in the workspace through api

[RaikarRaghu]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: I have created Family instances in solid works and I associated those instance to WTparts. I am able retrieve all the parts, associated cad Documents and instances. I have added all the objects to workspace. Now I wanted to add the generic part of those instances to workspace . Can you help to add the generic part of those instances to workspace.

Description:

This is the code i am using to retrieve all the parts, associate cad documents and ins tances. Now i wanted to retrieve the generic parts and add it to workspace

private void updateChildParts(WTPart parentPart) throws WTException, WTPropertyVetoException {

while (partUsageLinks.hasMoreElements()) {

WTPartUsageLink usageLink = (WTPartUsageLink) partUsageLinks.nextElement();

WTPartMaster partMaster = (WTPartMaster) usageLink.getUses();

QueryResult resultSet = ConfigHelper.service.filteredIterationsOf(partMaster, new LatestConfigSpec());

while (resultSet.hasMoreElements()) {

WTPart childPart = (WTPart) resultSet.nextElement();

try {

System.out.println("Processing child part: " + childPart.getNumber());

if (isVariantPart(childPart)) {

EPMDocument associatedEPM = getAssociatedEPM(childPart);

if (associatedEPM == null) {

EPMDocument copy = saveAsCADAssembly(getEmptyCADAssembly(), childPart);

createLink(copy, childPart);

}

}

addAllToWorkspace(childPart);

// Recursively process the child parts

Hi @RaikarRaghu,

Thank you for your question. 

It appears your post is well documented , but I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.

Hi @RaikarRaghu 

The generic is still CAD so you can use standard method to add it to the workspace. 

Try following method to get the generic from an instance.

QueryResult queryresult = EPMStructureHelper.service.navigateGeneric(epmdocument, null, true);
