Copy&Replace Adaptive Component

[c_hoppen]

Hello,

I would like to replace components in an assembly that contain adaptive elements. Replacing the components themselves is straightforward, but I can't find a way to replace the references to the adaptive elements. The Copy function in the assembly environment can do this (see lower left screenshot).

I have not found any information about this in the API documentation or in this forum.

Is there a trick to it? Unfortunately, I'm afraid this is not possible via the API, as the context menu of adaptive elements does not offer any options either.

Regards,

Christoph

To clarify, the Assembly "Component -> Copy" function does what you want?

[c_hoppen]

Yes. The lower left screenshot shows the result after "Copy Components":

Apparently, the function uses an internal mechanism that is not available via the API.

You could actually copy the file, and then rename it, and add it back into the assembly.

I believe it would retain its references, just not its constraints. You can use System.IO to copy files.

System.IO.File.Copy("FilePathToCopy","FilePathOfCopied")
