Differentiate enabled vs disabled parts in Assembly using VBA

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Aug 2003 08:08:01 GMT

I have an assembly where I count parts and place them in a database.
Currently, I am counting all parts (by name). I would like to exclude the
parts where the snabled feature is turned off in the specific assembly.

For Each oPCompRef In oPCompRefs

PartNo = Left((oPCompRef.ReferencedFileDescriptor.DisplayName),
Len(oPCompRef.ReferencedFileDescriptor.DisplayName) - 4)
QTY = oPCompRef.ImmediateOccurrences.Count

I am thinking possibly, that changing the QTY variable to ount differently
might be a viable solution. On the other hand, perhaps there is another if
agrument that must be added???

Thanks in advance for your help!

If I understand correctly it should just be something like this

> For Each oPCompRef In oPCompRefs
>
> PartNo = Left((oPCompRef.ReferencedFileDescriptor.DisplayName),
> Len(oPCompRef.ReferencedFileDescriptor.DisplayName) - 4)
if oPCompRef.Enabled = True then
> QTY = oPCompRef.ImmediateOccurrences.Count
end if

Kent is close, but there's a slight change that's needed. Try this:

Public Sub CountEnabled()
Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oCompRef As ComponentDefinitionReference
For Each oCompRef In
oDoc.ComponentDefinition.ImmediateReferencedDefinitions
Dim iQty As Long
iQty = 0
Dim oOcc As ComponentOccurrence
For Each oOcc In oCompRef.ImmediateOccurrences
If oOcc.Enabled Then
iQty = iQty + 1
End If
Next

Dim strPartNo As String
strPartNo = Left((oCompRef.ReferencedFileDescriptor.DisplayName),
Len(oCompRef.ReferencedFileDescriptor.DisplayName) - 4)

Debug.Print strPartNo & ", Qty: " & iQty
Next
End Sub

oPCompRef.Enabled - produces a runtime error 438 - Object doesn't support
property or method.

My quesion is, what if there are three identical parts and only two are
enabled? Can the count work differently? If not, I can deal with it, but
what exactly is missing from your if statement below?

Thanks for your response!

What version are you on? In R6 and earlier help there was a really nice little example of
iterating through subs and counting. I don't have it here, and don't have time to
recreate it, but I could post a copy tonight if no one else does.

It has two subs, one that does all the top level components, and the second one iterates
through all the subs components. In this second one you should be able to skip the
count simply by checking if the component is enabled or not and using that to decide if
you wanted it added to the count or not.

Actually Kent go ahead and post it. I'm going to need something close to it
in a few week for a work project.

Neither of these work, nor your example of oPCompRef.Enabled. Any other
ideas?

oPCompRef.ReferencedDefinition.Occurrences.Item.Enabled

oPCompRef.ImmediateOccurrences.Item.Enabled

Thanks for your help on this!
