API Access for "Show All"

[ebunn3]

Please see screenshot below.  I am looking for a function that will allow me to hide or show everything in a Component like what is available by right clicking on the component in the browser tree.  I'd prefer not to have to go through each body and set its visibility to False or True.  I have components that contain hundreds of bodies and looping takes up a lot of time.

Hey there !

I don't know of any way to do it properly by the api (except by looping). However you can, through the api, automatically select the occurrence whose bodies you want to reveal and then activate the command :

        sels = ui.activeSelections
        sels.clear()
        sels.add(occurrence)
        ui.messageBox(occurrence.name)
        app.executeTextCommand('Commands.Start ShowAllBodiesCmd')
        sels.clear()

See @kandennti 's post on textCommands for an explanation :

Perfect.  Thanks.  I need to learn more about using these text commands.
