Associatvity state change event?

[Cris-Ideas]

Hi,

I was almost there with my code.

But run on to a serious obstacle.

I need to catch when associativity setting for componet's DVR is changed.

I did't find any event that would indicate this.

Does anyone know if there is such an event?

Try this command via the manager:
"PartAdaptiveFeatureCtxCmd"

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Public WithEvents UIE As Inventor.UserInputEvents
    
Try
         UIE = _InvApp.CommandManager.UserInputEvents
Catch ex As Exception

End Try

Private Sub UIE_OnActivateCommand(CommandName As String, Context As NameValueMap) Handles UIE.OnActivateCommand
        MsgBox(CommandName)
        
if CommandName = "PartAdaptiveFeatureCtxCmd" then
'DO THIS>>>>>>
end if

    End Sub

Edited:

Sorry you did already.

Thread did not update.

will look in to it

Hi,

Thanks for advice.

But I need much wider context as I am not able to understand what exactly and where and how should I do.

Could you provide me with some more detail directions or example maybe?

Hi,
Don't you understand what and how to program this is your add in?

[Cris-Ideas]

Ok,

I may be able to catch activation of the command window.

But how can I than find out if after this command is done component is associative or not?

I am looking to find a way to detect when associativity state of DVR of the component changes form True to False.

other direction works fine (so I am able to detect when it is changed from False to True).

let's take a look...

Hi,

Well it is my add-inn, and I can program only a little bit. 😉

So what it is suppos to do is:

Manage visibility of the component to get rid of the annoying thing that is putting components in Master DVR after they are set associative turned off and on again.

So far I was able to successfully get this done using windows form application. But components must be turned off by clicking button on the form.

What I would like to get is to link to the visibility event of the component by ComponentOccurecneOnChange Event, but there I have run on to the problem of bug in the event.

When associativity is changed from false to true it is properly indicated in during the Event. But when it is changed from True to False it is wrong as it is indicated as False before and after Event.

Also when associative component is being turned off there is a message window informing that associativity will be removed. And this window does not bring up ComponentOccurenceOnChange Event at all, and associative state if obviously changed.

So I am looking for a way to monitor associativity state of the componentoccurence DVR in some other way, that would allow me to know whether  component was set to be associative the moment user chooses to switch it off.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument
Set oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

MsgBox oPartDoc.ModelingSettings.AdaptivelyUsedInAssembly

What do you mean with "Master DVR"

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Sorry completely wrong what I understood.
Sorry from my side.
I read It wrong

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Public Sub main()

Dim a As AssemblyDocument
Set a = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim b As AssemblyComponentDefinition
Set b = a.ComponentDefinition
Dim occ As ComponentOccurrence

For Each occ In b.Occurrences
MsgBox occ.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation
Next

End Sub

Hi,

Yes this is the property.

But I am not looking for a way to read it but to monitor its state and defectively to catch all changes in its state while user works in the assembly.

Or if not possible than at least state just before user sets component's visibility state to off.

there is ComponentOccurrenceOnChahge event but it indicates IsAssociative.. property value not correctly in case of the Event that is raised when visibility is switched off.

Also there is this dialogue window I mentioned which does not rise this event at all, but in the same time it changes IsAssociative... property setting.

Hope this is what ypu need:

Public WithEvents AE As Inventor.AssemblyEvents

AE = _InvApp.AssemblyEvents

Private Sub AE_OnOccurrenceChange(DocumentObject As _AssemblyDocument, Occurrence As ComponentOccurrence, BeforeOrAfter As EventTimingEnum, Context As NameValueMap, ByRef HandlingCode As HandlingCodeEnum) Handles AE.OnOccurrenceChange
        MsgBox(Occurrence.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation)
End Sub

[Cris-Ideas]

I have tried this approach in the begging, but it does not work.

Do you have any other idea?

hi,

If the DVR changes back to "Master" when the checkmark is removed, the Value becomes empty.

So:

Public WithEvents AE As Inventor.AssemblyEvents

AE = _InvApp.AssemblyEvents

Private Sub AE_OnOccurrenceChange(DocumentObject As _AssemblyDocument, Occurrence As ComponentOccurrence, BeforeOrAfter As EventTimingEnum, Context As NameValueMap, ByRef HandlingCode As HandlingCodeEnum) Handles AE.OnOccurrenceChange
        MsgBox(Occurrence.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation)
if Occurrence.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation ="" then
'Do this.....
else
'Do this.....
end if
End Sub

[Cris-Ideas]

Thanks,

Will investigate this way.

Hi,

tried latest suggestion.

Unfortunately same problem as before.

In case I remove associativity before and after events indicate IsAssociative=False and ActiveDesignViewRepresentation = ""

This however works when I assign associativity.

Earlier you suggested catching dialogue window.

In case of command windows is there an event raised when dialogue is closed (OK, CANCL) indicating settings of the command?
