AllLeafOccurrences and View Representation

SteveK88 — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 22:16:27 GMT

In Inv 2023 iLogic, I am using AllLeafOccurrences to cycle thru a large assemblies to turn off the visibility of specific parts by iProp value. This I then create a filtered Parts List by View Representation.

The problem is with subassemblies that have a BOM Structure other than Phantom still show in the filtered Parts List.

AllLeafOccurrences only search thru parts (ipt). Is there a better method that will search for Parts & Assemblies?

Do I need to cycle thru twice once for parts and again for Assemblies by BOM Structure. The file could have 10K occurrences!

You can use AllReferenceOccurrences and a recursion function. see syntax reference here

Syntax

ComponentOccurrences.AllReferencedOccurrences( Object As Object ) As ComponentOccurrencesEnumerator

And also methods to work with assemblies and occurrences here. Can you post the relevant code your using ?

Thanks for the info. I will try this.

My code is attached. This version searched by Name as it is faster that iProp but I may need both.

It is setup with Case statements so users can 'hard code' the search variables.

Using AllReferencedDocuments recognizes the document (iam & ipt) not the occurrence.

I can turn off visibility of occurrences but not of a document.

I would need to cycle thru all occurrences of the found document (iam & ipt) and turn off the visibility.

Kind of back to the original issue.

Am I missing something?

I see the behavior now. The assemblies visibility was remaining on even thou the parts were switched off.

Change this line

 For Each oOcc In oOccs.AllLeafOccurrences

For Each oOcc In oOccs.AllReferencedOccurrences(oDef)

Thank you. But that will now turn off visibility of the parent assembly that I do not want since all children are then non-visible.

I'll need to add a line to identify the assembly BOM Structure. If BOM Structure is Phantom, not to turn off visibility.

It might be better to run thru turnoff all assemblies then run again to turn ON the parts I want on.

It is working, I had to stitch this in,

If oOcc.BOMStructure <> 51971 Or oOcc.DefinitionDocumentType = kPartDocumentObject  Then 'Phantom BOM Structure AND not a Part
