Select part / Occurence by name

Hi,

Is there an easiest way to select an occurence by it's name :

Sub EraseOccurence(OccurenceName As String)
Dim Occurence As ComponentOccurrence

For Each Occurence In oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If Occurence.Name = OccurenceName Then
Occurence.Visible = False
Exit For
End If
Next Occurence
End Sub

It's so slow with large assemblies !

Thanks,

The technique you're currently using is the best way to do this. Indexing a
part by name was not previously supported because unique names were not
enforced for occurrences in an assembly. This changed in Inventor 7.
Inventor 8 will introduce a new property (ItemByName) on the
ComponentOccurrences object that will allow you to obtain a specific
occurrence given its name.

Will the ItemByName property (method?) return a "name path" to uniquely
identify a leaf component in a subassembly (which will have the same browser
name as the same leaf part in all subassembly occurrences), or will you need
to step through the ItemByName property up and down the hierarchy?

Thanks,
Neil

It will return occurrences directly owned by the AssemblyComponentDefinition
you got the ComponentOccurrences object from. This means it will only
search that level of the assembly. It's also only within a single level
that unique names are guaranteed, so if it expanded beyond this then you
have those issues to contend with.

As expected, thanks Brian. This was a fairly big issue for a current
project.
