Traversing design with suppressed components

[Anonymous]

How can I traverse a design that has suppressed parts/subassemblies working with Inventor 11 API? ReferencedDocuments collection does not contain suppressed components.
If I have to change active LOD representation of the assembly to see the suppressed parts - how can I do it?

Thanks,
Ilya

Instead of querying the ReferencedDocuments property, use the
ReferencedDocumentDescriptors property instead. This property returns
reference descriptors for suppressed components as well (with
DocumentDescriptor.ReferencedSuppressed property set to True for suppressed
references).

To change the active LOD representation, use
AssemblyDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations
property. Find the LOD representation of interest and call the Activate
method on it.

Hi, Sanjay, and thanks for speedy reply.

I have tried to implement the solution and encountered some problems.
I get "unspecified error" exception (0x80020003) when I try to access ReferencedDocument property of DocumentDescriptor if that document is suppressed (it works fine on unsuppressed docs)

How can I access Document object of the suppressed component?

Since the reference is suppressed, you won't be able to access the
ReferencedDocument (it does not exist in memory at all). The
DocumentDescriptor.FullDocumentName property returns the document that is
being referenced (and is currently suppressed).
