Running a command on T&P Add-in Occurrence in Drawing

[A.Acheson]

Is it possible to run a command on specific assembly occurrences in the drawing environment.

Using the add-in Tube and pipe. If you right click on the Run assembly occurrence in the browser you are presented with a command “Include Route Centerlines”

I placed this snippet

(ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions(“CADC:Drawing:CenterlineRecoveryChecked”).Execute)

at the point where the loop found the Occurrence.
Using this method the button is not triggered.

 I am guessing this is the case because the command manager is trying to act on the whole drawing and not on the specific Occurrences.  Is there a method to do this?.

Commands:

Include Route Centerlines - CADC:Drawing:CenterlineRecoveryChecked
Include Route Centerlines - CADC:Drawing:CenterlineRecoveryTriState
Include Route Centerlines - CADC:Drawing:CenterlineRecoveryUnchecked

Resources used.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Seemed like it was the Browser that made my problems my final uptate if any body are interested:
