LOD to Model states causing problems with derived parts??

[cencinaNB2ET]

Im really confused...

I have a derived assembly part that needs to open the main assembly with suppressed cable harness parts.

Now the open parent assembly code only opens the assembly on a master level.

I had a LOD called custom where i had suppressed Cable harness assemblies depending on the code selection etc...

oAsmDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations("Custom").activate

Now this is creating a so called model states...

the issue is i then derive many configurations into a part from this assembly and i use this code to obtain a few details from the parent assembly ( iproperties, etc...)

using this..

For Each oDerAssemblyComp In Doc_P.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedAssemblyComponents
oDerAssemblyCompDef = oDerAssemblyComp.Definition
Full_File_Name = oDerAssemblyComp.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.FullDocumentName
Next


oDoc_Parent = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(Full_File_Name, False)
oAsmDef = oDoc_Parent.ComponentDefinition

But this only opens the Master version of the parent assembly so now i cant get any details from the parent assembly for some reason...

Why was LOD replaced with model states?

I cant suppress Harness parts in Master level of model states so Im left with nothing it seems???

Please see screenshots attached...

Hi,

Sorry but I don't understand the problem you have.

I don't see any code that pulls properties from the one to the other file.

Could you please share your complete code here to investigate and help you further.

Well i have two problems..

the code is extensive because there are more than a few external rules completing a few tasks.

Ill have to clean them and take out all references first and create a copy of the assembly etc.. just to show you.

But here is a screen cast link with another problem i think also caused by model states.

I hide visibility of components on the parent assembly and i let the designer access it through a derived part.

the issue is that derived part cant include workplanes anymore for some reason. i need those planes for connecting them .

so its either a master view with non hidden parts or a default view linked to the parent assembly without planes.

I derived it including all workfeatures but for some reason this is not including them in Inventor 2022.
