Control PositionalRepresentations and LevelOfDetail

[GeorgK]

Hello together,

I am looking for a possibility to control the PositionalRepresentations and LevelOfDetail. If I choose number one (01_ text varies ) of the PositionalRepresentations the LevelOfDetail should switch to 01_XXXX.

I found a peace of could that switches but the names must be equal.

Is it possible to modify the code to do that?

Thank you very much

Georg

Hi Georg,

You could use the "RepresentationEvents.OnActivatePositionalRepresentation" to get notified when a positional rep is activated, based on that you could change the LOD from API:

LevelOfDetailRepresentation.Activate

Sub LoD()

    Dim doc As AssemblyDocument
    Set doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    Dim mng As RepresentationsManager
    Set mng = doc.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager
    
    Dim LoDs As LevelOfDetailRepresentations
    Set LoDs = mng.LevelOfDetailRepresentations
    
    LoDs.item("MyLoD").activate
    
    doc.Rebuild
    
    ' Create a new level of detail.
    Dim oLODRep As LevelOfDetailRepresentation
    Set oLODRep = LoDs.Add("My LOD")
    
    ' Suppress an occurrence.
    doc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.item(1).Suppress
        
    ' Save the document, which is really saving the LOD.
    ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Save

    ' Activate the master LOD.
    mng.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.item("Master").activate
    
End Sub
