Best way to get the Part

[rikard.nilsson]

Hi,

I often writing code in my addins where I pick a component in the window by using Inventor API and then using GetChildren() and Find() to get the corresponding Intent Part.
Is there any smarter and faster way to get the Part in Intent API?

Regards
Rikard

Hi Rikard,

Try this : Intent.IntentAPI.Utilities.GetPart(Intent.RefChainFromHostObject(A_ComponentOccurrence))

Hopes this helps,

Mark

Thanks Mark!

I had to do some modifications to make it work. 

Below is my solution if anyone else need to know this..

/Rikard

IHostAPI hapi = (IHostAPI)IntentAPI.Instance.HostAPI;
string refChain = hapi.RefChainFromHostObject(PickedPartOcc);
Part TestPart = IntentAPI.Instance.Utilities.GetPart(refChain);
