Checking if a component is external

Hi folks,

I'm making a script to export the files I need and it's working great for all components that are internaly in the project, but I'd like it to also do it for external components.

How would that check look like? I've tried using this

# Get the value of the property. propertyValue = occurrence_var.isReferencedComponent

Get the value of the property.
propertyValue = occurrence_var.isReferencedComponent

this, but cannot seem to get it working.

Here is the rest of my code aswell

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback, os # Global variable to store the ui object ui = None def run(context): try: app = adsk.core.Application.get() global ui ui = app.userInterface # Get active design product = app.activeProduct design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product) # List to store external components external_components = [] # Iterate through all components and check their isReferencedComponent values for component in design.allComponents: is_referenced = is_external_component(component) if is_referenced: external_components.append(component) if not external_components: ui.messageBox("No external components found in the active design.") return # Display a message with the list of external components components_message = "External Components:\n" for comp in external_components: components_message += f"{comp.name}\n" ui.messageBox(components_message, "External Components") # Prompt the user to select the export folder folderDialog = ui.createFolderDialog() folderDialog.title = "Select Export Folder" folderDialog.initialDirectory = os.path.expanduser("~\\Desktop") # Default to the desktop # Show the folder dialog and get the selected folder dialogResult = folderDialog.showDialog() if dialogResult == adsk.core.DialogResults.DialogOK: export_folder = folderDialog.folder else: # User canceled the folder selection return # Create a single exportManager instance exportMgr = design.exportManager # Export the selected external components one by one with a specified format for comp in external_components: compName = comp.name # Specify the full file path for the export file_path = os.path.join(export_folder, compName) open_and_activate_component(comp) # Export the component with SAT format satOptions = exportMgr.createSATExportOptions(file_path, comp) exportMgr.execute(satOptions) if is_sheet_metal_component(comp): # Check if a flat pattern exists if comp.flatPattern: export_dxf(export_folder, comp) if ui: ui.messageBox('Export completed. Files saved to the selected folder.') except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc())) def is_external_component(comp): # Check if the component is external by checking its occurrences external_found = False for occurrence in comp.allOccurrences: try: propertyValue = occurrence.properties.itemByName("isReferencedComponent").value if propertyValue: return True except Exception as e: pass # Ignore any errors and continue checking occurrences return False def is_sheet_metal_component(comp): # Check if the component is a sheet metal component is_sheet_metal = False for body in comp.bRepBodies: if body.isSheetMetal: is_sheet_metal = True break return is_sheet_metal def open_and_activate_component(comp): # Open and activate the component design = comp.parentDesign design.activateRootComponent() design.activateObject(comp) def export_dxf(export_folder, comp): # Specify the DXF file path compName = comp.name dxf_file_path = os.path.join(export_folder, f"{compName}_FlatPattern.dxf") # Create DXF export options for the flat pattern exportMgr = comp.parentDesign.exportManager dxf_options = exportMgr.createDXFFlatPatternExportOptions(dxf_file_path, comp.flatPattern) # Execute the export exportMgr.execute(dxf_options) if __name__ == '__main__': run(None)

Hi @magnus.wallem65FKK -San.

I changed the is_external_component function.

def is_external_component(comp: adsk.fusion.Component): # Check if the component is external by checking its occurrences # external_found = False # for occurrence in comp.allOccurrences: # try: # propertyValue = occurrence.properties.itemByName("isReferencedComponent").value # if propertyValue: # return True # except Exception as e: # pass # Ignore any errors and continue checking occurrences # return False app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get() design: adsk.fusion.Design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast( app.activeProduct ) root: adsk.fusion.Component = design.rootComponent occs: adsk.fusion.OccurrenceList = root.occurrencesByComponent(comp) occ: adsk.fusion.Occurrence = None return any( [occ.isReferencedComponent for occ in occs] )
