Rename Positional Representations

[Brett.G]

Is it possible to rename positional representations through the API?  I've tried setting the name as PosRep.name = "Test" but the method fails.

Something like this? Remember, you can't rename the "Main" representation.

Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oCD As ComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oPR As PositionalRepresentation = oCD.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations("OldName")
oPR.Name = "NewName"

Mike,

    Thanks for the reply, what you wrote out is essentially what I was doing in my code.  My issue was that I was trying to rename a positional representation with a name that was already in use. Oops!
