How to Undo Checkout of All (Inventor) Suppressed Components
Hi All,
I posted the following question on the Inventor Customization forum, though haven't received a response, so wondering if this is the right place to ask.
Below is a method in a C# application which will delete all suppressed occurrences from an assembly, however I need to add some logic to first undo checkout of the suppressed components prior to the delete operation.
Any suggestions?
public static void DeleteSuppressedOccurrences(Document document)
{
if ((int)document.DocumentType != Enum.AssemblyDocument) return;
var assyDoc = (AssemblyDocument)document;
var assyOccs = assyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences;
foreach (ComponentOccurrence occ in assyOccs)
{
if (occ.Suppressed)
{
occ.Delete();
}
}
}

I suggest activating each occurrence and call the UI command to Undo Checkout like this
{
Inventor.Application mApp = ThisApplication;
Inventor.ControlDefinition mControlDef;
mControlDef = mApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultUndoCheckoutTop");
mControlDef.Execute2(true);
}

Hey Markus, thanks for the reply. I was actually looking into that same method but couldn't figure out how to do the undo checkout of specific occurrences. From what I saw, running that execute, would check-in all the components unless each component is opened individually.
Is that what you meant by "activate each component"?
If so, I was concerned that would drain a lot of resources (not sure if that's true), hence why I was looking for a way to specify the component for the Undo Checkout. From what I can tell, there is no way to do that, except for perhaps adding a new class that will connects to Vault via the Vault API and specify which file to Undo Checkout.

Yes, that was what I meant; the command handles the "top" document or the "active" one from an API perspective. Either edit the occurrence or open it to apply the command.
I doubt, that doing this via Vault server calls outperformed this approach as you need multiple steps doing it and refreshing Inventor.
