Identifying Base Component

[NachoShaw]

Hi

Is there a coded method of identifying a Base Component as in, the original Base Model that a part has been derived from? In the UI, i can:

• Open a part
• Right click on Derived Part feature in the tree
• select 'Open Base Component'

Thanks

Nacho

with this you can:

Public Sub SuppressLinkderivedpart()
Dim oInvApp As Inventor.Application
Set oInvApp = ThisApplication
        ' Set a reference to the Active document as a Part
        Dim oInvPartDocument As PartDocument
        Set oInvPartDocument = oInvApp.ActiveDocument

        ' Set a reference to the part component definition
        Dim oInvPartCompDef As PartComponentDefinition
        Set oInvPartCompDef = oInvPartDocument.ComponentDefinition

        ' Set a reference to the derived part component
        Dim oDerivedPart As DerivedPartComponent
        Set oDerivedPart = oInvPartCompDef.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents.Item(1)
MsgBox oDerivedPart.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.FullDocumentName


    End Sub
