Select Multiple Parts In Assembly By Appearance

[jamesVM3XN]

Good Morning,

We work with large assemblies that often contain upwards of 20 subassemblies. Each of these has components with different apperances based on client requirements. What I am lookinjg for is an iLog code that would enable our design team to click on a single part with a particular appearance and run an iLogic rule that would select every part acorss the whole assembly with the same appearance to allow them all to have their appearances changed in one process.

Hope that makes sense

Looking forward to what you can suggest

Here are the steps that should work. Hopefully it will get you moving in the right direction. Please post back with any work you have achieved in constructing the rule. There will be samples available on the forum that will contain pieces of this workflow but not likely everything. 

1. Pick part using command pick

2. Retrieve active appearance from occurrence document. 

3. Change appearance from list of assets. Collect list of string from assets list and diplay to user in inputlist box. 

4. Loop through leaf occurrences and change the occurrence documents appearance.
