Simplified Part from Assembly

[mowag]

Hi,

i'm trying to create a simplified part of a weldassembly ( with all the machinings supressed).

Most of the time it works, but sometimes i get an error Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL)).

Where do i have to start looking ?

// Create a new part document that will be the shrinkwrap substitute  AFGEWERKT
PartDocument oPartDoc = (PartDocument)_inventordataService.invApp.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject, "", false);

PartComponentDefinition oPartDef = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition;

DerivedAssemblyDefinition oDerivedAssemblyDef = oPartDef.ReferenceComponents.DerivedAssemblyComponents.CreateDefinition(AssDoc.FullDocumentName);

// Set various shrinkwrap related options
oDerivedAssemblyDef.DeriveStyle = DerivedComponentStyleEnum.kDeriveAsSingleBodyNoSeams;
oDerivedAssemblyDef.IncludeAllTopLevelWorkFeatures = DerivedComponentOptionEnum.kDerivedIncludeAll;
oDerivedAssemblyDef.IncludeAllTopLevelSketches = DerivedComponentOptionEnum.kDerivedIncludeAll;
oDerivedAssemblyDef.IncludeAllTopLeveliMateDefinitions = DerivedComponentOptionEnum.kDerivedExcludeAll;
oDerivedAssemblyDef.IncludeAllTopLevelParameters = DerivedComponentOptionEnum.kDerivedExcludeAll;
oDerivedAssemblyDef.ReducedMemoryMode = true;

//oDerivedAssemblyDef.SetHolePatchingOptions(DerivedHolePatchEnum.kDerivedPatchAll);
oDerivedAssemblyDef.SetRemoveByVisibilityOptions(DerivedGeometryRemovalEnum.kDerivedRemovePartsAndFaces, 25);

// Create the shrinkwrap component
DerivedAssemblyComponent oDerivedAssembly = oPartDef.ReferenceComponents.DerivedAssemblyComponents.Add(oDerivedAssemblyDef);

Kind Regards

Johan

Is the assembly full document name supplied a valid path? If you tried to open the assembly with that name would it work? Perhaps place a try catch statement around any line you think may be at fault.

Hi Allen,

Yes the path to the assembly is valid. I'm sure about that !!

I've wrote an app that starts wit an open assy in inventor and loops over all the occurences of the assy (also subassy's).

When i run the app with the assy open that contains the weld assy as a subassy then i have no problem !

When i start the app with an assy open higher in the hierachy ( weld assy is sub,sub,subassy) then i get the error ?

Here are the weld assy's just under the top assy and in that case it's working ! Strange, isn't it ?
