Inv2022 - Replace model reference via API

The Replace Model Reference drawing command has been updated to manage the model states, it gives the ability to replace the referenced document in its model state (model state member document).

In previous Inventor versions I implemented this functionality with FileDescriptor.ReplaceReference but now I need to work at a document level not file level to implement the Replace Model Reference behaviour via API.

 

By the way the lack of API is something already came up in certain pattern like this one
Now with model states is even more necessary.


Is there something I am missing and it's already doable? Could you please add an api otherwise?

Does this not work anymore:

 

Dim oPartDoc As Document 'PartDocument
            oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

            Dim oRefPartDoc As DocumentDescriptor

 
            oRefPartDoc = oPartDoc.ReferencedDocumentDescriptors.Item("")

            oRefPartDoc.ReferencedFileDescriptor.ReplaceReference("")
            oPartDoc.Update()
