Derived sketchblock problem

[Anonymous]

So the problem is when i change the line from normal to construction line in orignal sketchblock the update doesn't occur in derived sketchblock in a anator part? Is there a way to make this update happen? Ilogic or any posssible trick??

Hello vulic,

This code (VBA) synchronize that the sketch lines are construction or not.

Only the lines will be synchronized. If you want to synchronize other entities (circle, eclipse, etc...), please add codes.

Sub SynchronizeDerivedSketchBlock()
    Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument: Set oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    Dim oPartCompDef As PartComponentDefinition: Set oPartCompDef = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition
    
    ' For each Derived Part Component...
    Dim oDerivedPartComp As DerivedPartComponent
    For Each oDerivedPartComp In oPartCompDef.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents
        ' For each Sketch Block Definition...
        Dim oSktBlkDef As SketchBlockDefinition
        For Each oSktBlkDef In oDerivedPartComp.SketchBlockDefinitions
            Dim oOriginalSktBlkDef As SketchBlockDefinition
            Set oOriginalSktBlkDef = oSktBlkDef.ReferencedEntity
            ' For each Sketch Line...
            Dim i As Integer
            For i = 1 To oOriginalSktBlkDef.SketchLines.Count
                oSktBlkDef.SketchLines(i).Construction = oOriginalSktBlkDef.SketchLines(i).Construction
            Next i
        Next oSktBlkDef
    Next oDerivedPartComp
End Sub

And this code must be run by yourself. I think you can rewrite this in iLogic and invoke this method by the event when the document containing derived part component has been changed.

But if set the event to do so, the code runs at every time when the document is changed. This may cause perfomance problem.

I hope this post will help you.
