Using part names instead of instance names

[sam]

Hi Everyone, 

Is there any way we could use part names rather than using instance names (highlighted below). 

Constraints.AddMate("Mate1", "Part1:1", "Work Plane1", "Part2:1", "Work Plane1",
offset := 0.0, e1InferredType := InferredTypeEnum.kNoInference, e2InferredType := InferredTypeEnum.kNoInference,
solutionType := MateConstraintSolutionTypeEnum.kNoSolutionType,
biasPoint1 := Nothing, biasPoint2 := Nothing)

Hello sam,

Only the part name cannot determine which occurrence should to be processed.

(Imagine several same parts are existing in one assembly.)

Therefore you should specify the occurrence name rather than the part name.

@HideoYamada I understand that and that is why I require it. I want mates working for the part instead of instance so that it works for all the instances. Any thoughts?

Hello sam,

You can create new sub or function doing it, but I think there is no API or integrated function simply to do it.

Try make it!
