Checking in a drawing of an assembly some hiddenline for a part

[patrick.fillion]

I am looking to check the hiddenline status of a part in a drawing. The drawing is made from an assembly. I dont want to take all the segments from the view and check for each of them. I want a way I can just grab the entities that are made from an occurence.

I was hopping to use the drawingcurve(modelobject), but I dont know what to use as the modelobject! is it the edge, edges, component definition... Here some of the code that is not working.

Dim _portePattern As OccurrencePattern = oassbly.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencePatterns.Item("Pattern Porte")
            Dim _PoigneeOcc As ComponentOccurrence
            Dim _PorteOcc As ComponentOccurrence
            Dim PatEle As OccurrencePatternElement
            Dim _poigneeDef As ComponentDefinition
            Dim _poigneeSFbody As SurfaceBody
            Dim _poigneeEdges As Edges


            For i As Integer = 1 To _portePattern.OccurrencePatternElements.Count
                PatEle = _portePattern.OccurrencePatternElements.Item(i)
                Debug.Print(i & "/" & _portePattern.OccurrencePatternElements.Count & "> " & PatEle.Name)
                _PorteOcc = PatEle.Occurrences(1)
                Debug.Print(_PorteOcc.Name)
                For Co As Integer = 1 To _PorteOcc.SubOccurrences.Count
                    Debug.Print(Co & "/" & _PorteOcc.SubOccurrences.Count & "> " & _PorteOcc.SubOccurrences.Item(Co).Name)
                    If _PorteOcc.SubOccurrences.Item(Co).Name.ToLower.Contains("poi") Then
                        _PoigneeOcc = _PorteOcc.SubOccurrences.Item(Co)
                        _poigneeEdges = _PoigneeOcc.Definition.SurfaceBodies(1).Edges
                        For Ed As Integer = 1 To _poigneeEdges.Count
                            Debug.Print(Ed & "/" & _poigneeEdges.Count)
                            
                            For Each dwgSeg As DrawingCurveSegment In _view.DrawingCurves(_poigneeEdges.Item(Ed))
                                If dwgSeg.HiddenLine = True Then
                                    dwgSeg.Visible = False
                                End If
                            Next
                        Next

                    End If
                Next

Hi there,

I think you could just pass in the occurrence to DrawingCurves() as is done in this sample code:

I hope this helps.
