Getting part parameter of assembly placed in drawing

[harvey_craig2RCUH]

I would like to get parameter "E1" in part "NPT_Port" which is part of an assembly placed as a view on a drawing.

I can get to the occurrence like so:

Dim oModelDoc = ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").ModelDocument
Dim oAssemblyDoc As AssemblyDocument = oModelDoc
Dim oPartOcc = oAssemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.ItemByName("NPT_Port")

I would expect parameters to be accessed in oPartOcc as I can see patterns, constraint etc etc, where do I find parameters?

Thanks,

Harvey

You will need to get the component definition from the component occurrence and then get the parameters from there as you would in any other component definition.

Ok, so I'm in the definition:

Dim oDef As ComponentDefinition = oPartOcc.Definition

 And inside oDef I still can't see anything relevant to parameters?:

Thanks,

I think the reason your intellisense isn't showing Parameters is because you declared it as ComponentDefinition but not as PartComponentDefinition

I think sure that you can still access the Parameters from there without declaring it specifically as PartComponentDefinition even though the intellisense doesn't show it. If you know it's a part you may as well declare it as PartComponentDefinition, that should make the intellisense work.

I can't test this right now unfortunately, but if this doesn't work you may need to use Definition.Document to get teh PartDocument and then get the PartComponentDefinition from there.

Thanks very much. I rely too much on intellisense!
