Access "Change Size" for a Content Center Component through the API?

[Anonymous]

Hi there everyone,

     The issue I am having today is with finding a method to access the "Change Size" option that appears when you right click a Content Center component within an assembly. I've circled the exact option here:

Is there any way to access or call this within an iLogic Rule? I have yet to find anything within the help section, so I'm looking forward to any replies on the matter!

Public sub Main
Dim CmdMan As ControlDefinition
    'Set CmdMan = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("Command Name")
    Set CmdMan = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("CCV2ChangeSizeButtonCM")
	CmdMan.Execute
    	CmdMan.Execute2 (True)
end sub
-----------
These are the possible other command names:
CCV2ChangeSizeButtonCM                                Change size of Standard Component
CCV2EditorButton                                      Open Content Center Editor
CCV2OpenButton                                        Open Component from Content Center
CCV2OpenCWButton                                      Access Autodesk Manufacturing Supplier Content Center
CCV2PlaceButton                                       Place Component from Content Center
CCV2PlaceButtonCM                                     Place Component from Content Center
CCV2PlaceFeatureButton                                Place Feature from Content Center
CCV2PlaceFeatureButtonCM                              Place Feature from Content Center
CCV2PublishButton                                     Publish Part to Content Center
CCV2ReplaceButton                                     Replace Component with Component from Content Center
CCV2ReplaceButtonCM                                   Replace Component with Component from Content Center

Thanks for the list of extra commands, looks like mine was a little incomplete. Might I ask how you generated it?

I was able to find the Content Family Identifier method, and coupled it with one of the other commands to reach a more direct solution:

 Sub Main()
	If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
		MessageBox.Show("Please run this rule from the assembly file.", "iLogic")
		Exit Sub
	End If
	
	Dim oHexHeadNode As ContentTreeViewNode = ThisApplication.ContentCenter.TreeViewTopNode.ChildNodes.Item("Standard Parts & Assemblies")
	
	Dim oFamily As ContentFamily
    For Each oCheckFamily As ContentFamily In oHexHeadNode.Families()
        If oCheckFamily.DisplayName() = "Family Name" Then
            oFamily = oCheckFamily
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
	
	Dim oString As String = oFamily.ContentIdentifier()
	ThisApplication.CommandManager.PostPrivateEvent(PrivateEventTypeEnum.kStringEvent, oString)
	ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("CCV2PlaceButtonCM").Execute()
 End Sub

Could you please my solution as solved

Do you need the List of "CommandManager" commands too?
