Change selection mode in assembly via API

[jan.pomplun]

I would like to know if it is possible to change the selection behaviour

in an assembly via the API?

Thanks

Hi,

The link did not work but I think you should search in API Help for "SelectionFilterEnum Enumerator"

There you can finnd all the different filters that you need for selection..

Dear Rikard,

thanks for the quick answer. However, for my problem I do not want to set a selection filter when choosing parts via tha API (e.g. via Pick).

I would like to change the "global" selection mode in an inventor assembly to "Parts" via the API. The following pic shows the corresponding menu (sorry, its German) in the inventor GUI. Using EventWatcher, I tried to find if this command fires some event, but no luck.

So, can these menu entries be activated via the API?

Thanks,

Jan

OK..

I haven't done this but I think this is what you are looking for,,

SelectionPriorityEnum Enumerator

to use in 

AssemblyDocument.SelectionPriority Property

Thanks!!

As always, once you know it, it seems quite obvious 🙂

Inventor.SelectionPriorityEnum.kPartSelectionPriority

did it.
