Autodesk Inventor Engineer-to-Order

[#1]

I'm building a user interface, and I'd like to allow the user to click on the part they want to add a child to.  When they click on a part, it returns a component occurrence.  How can I get the refchain of this ComponentOccurrence object?

The childName is NOT the same as the displayName, so I cannot use the display name.

Thank you,

Brandon

Hi

HostAPI has a method that returns a ref string from the Inventor object:

string refChain = Autodesk.Intent.IntentAPI.Instance.HostAPI.HostApplication.RefChainFromHostObject( occ)

You may wish to feed the result into RefChain class constructor for further analysis.
