How do I get the overridden value from a positional representation??

[HermJan.Otterman]

you can override the "relationship-value" with:

oPosrep.SetRelationshipSuppressionOverride(oRelationShip, False)

oPosrep.SetRelationshipValueOverride(oRelationShip, RelationshipValueTypeEnum.kRelationshipOffsetValue, Value)

but is there a way to get this overridden VALUE, once it is overridden?

does it have something to do with the:

RepManager.PositionalRepresentations.ExcelWorkSheet .....??

I can't get anything from this worksheet...

thanks

Hi,

You can get it from the relationship object, e.g. the MateConstraint:

Sub PosReps()
  ' The positional representation and the mate constraint need
  ' to be selected in the UI before running this
  Dim oPosRep As PositionalRepresentation
  Set oPosRep = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet(1)
  Dim oMate As MateConstraint
  Set oMate = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet(2)
  posrep.SetRelationshipSuppressionOverride rs, False
  posrep.SetRelationshipValueOverride rs, RelationshipValueTypeEnum.kRelationshipOffsetValue, "12"
  
  Dim strVal As String
  Dim isOverridden As Boolean
  isOverridden = posrep.IsRelationshipValueOverridden(oMate, RelationshipValueTypeEnum.kRelationshipOffsetValue, strVal)
  Debug.Print "Overridden offset = " + strVal
  Debug.Print "Original offset = " + Str(oMate.Offset.value)
End Sub

Thanks Adam,

it worked

I did't know that you cloud get a value this way.

thanks
