How to Undo Checkout of All (Inventor) Suppressed Components

[shiftctrl.io]

Hi All,

I posted the following question on the Inventor Customization forum, though haven't received a response, so wondering if this is the right place to ask. 

Below is a method in a C# application which will delete all suppressed occurrences from an assembly, however I need to add some logic to first undo checkout of the suppressed components prior to the delete operation.

Any suggestions?

public static void DeleteSuppressedOccurrences(Document document)
{
    if ((int)document.DocumentType != Enum.AssemblyDocument) return;
    var assyDoc = (AssemblyDocument)document;
    var assyOccs = assyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences;
    foreach (ComponentOccurrence occ in assyOccs)
    {
        if (occ.Suppressed)
        {
            occ.Delete();
        }
    }
}

I suggest activating each occurrence and call the UI command to Undo Checkout like this

{
    Inventor.Application mApp = ThisApplication;
    Inventor.ControlDefinition mControlDef;
    mControlDef = mApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultUndoCheckoutTop");
    mControlDef.Execute2(true);
}

Hey Markus, thanks for the reply. I was actually looking into that same method but couldn't figure out how to do the undo checkout of specific occurrences. From what I saw, running that execute, would check-in all the components unless each component is opened individually.

Is that what you meant by "activate each component"?

If so, I was concerned that would drain a lot of resources (not sure if that's true), hence why I was looking for a way to specify the component for the Undo Checkout. From what I can tell, there is no way to do that, except for perhaps adding a new class that will connects to Vault via the Vault API and specify which file to Undo Checkout.

Yes, that was what I meant; the command handles the "top" document or the "active" one from an API perspective. Either edit the occurrence or open it to apply the command.

I doubt, that doing this via Vault server calls outperformed this approach as you need multiple steps doing it and refreshing Inventor.
