Is their anything wrong with code?

It's based of another post and modified. Essentially i'm having to set the visibility, etc of all the pieces of a circular pattern.

The rule works completely fine in the assembly it's written in. This assembly inserted into another assembly. When saving all files in the upper level assembly, it generates and error on this rule in the sub assembly.

The code:

Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument 
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument 
Dim oPattern As OccurrencePattern 
oPattern = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencePatterns.Item("FRS_Pattern 3:1") 
Dim oPatternElement As OccurrencePatternElement 
For Each oPatternElement In oPattern.OccurrencePatternElements 
	Dim oOcc As ComponentOccurrence 
		For Each oOcc In oPatternElement.Occurrences 
			If FRS_SEGMENTS= 1 then
				oOcc.Enabled = False
				oOcc.Visible = False
				oOcc.BOMStructure = 51972
				else
				oOcc.Enabled = True
				oOcc.Visible = True
				oOcc.BOMStructure = 51969
			End if
		Next 
	Next  

The error:

iLogic Rule Error in rule: FRS_YN, in document: U_TIP_BODY_ASSY.iam

Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

just thinking out loud..if you set  oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument your setting the oDoc = to the upper and not = to the assembly the code is writen in?

I think that's right.

I changed it to ThisDoc.Document and it's passed the few tests i've thrown at it thus far.

Fingers crossed that it lasts. 🙂

After posting i went back and stared at it and was thinking the same thing.
