Hello Everybody,

I need some help with SolidWorks APIs.

I have an 'Derive Component Part' created from an Assembly Document.

This Assembly Document has two confgurations viz. '0001' and '0002'.

When this Assmebly Document was saved in the SolidWorks; configuration '0001' was active.

And while creating the 'Derive Component Part'; I created it from '0002' configuration.

I have 'Derived Componenet Part' opened in the SolidSworks.

Here I want to know which configuration of the assembly is used to create the part ? I am using SolidWorks 2009 SP 5.1

I have done the following coding:

// swModel is the ModelDoc2 of the 'Derived Componenet Part"

swModel.Extension.ListExternalFileReferences vModelPathName, vComponentPathName, vFeature, vDataType, vStatus, vRefEntity, vFeatComp, swExternalFileReferencesNamedConfig, sConfigName

            If swModel.Extension.ListExternalFileReferencesCount() > 0 Then

                For i = 0 To swModel.Extension.ListExternalFileReferencesCount() - 1

                If CStr(vDataType(i)) = "Body" Then

                    sFeatName = CStr(vFeature(i))

                    If sFeatName <> "" Then

                        lPos = InStrRev(sFeatName, "@")

                        sFeatName = Right(sFeatName, (Len(sFeatName) - lPos))

                        sFeatName = sFeatName + ".SldAsm"

                        Set swAsmModel = OpenSWXDoc(sFeatName, 2) // Opening the Asm document to collect the ModelDoc2

                    End If

               End If

               Next i

              End If

The Above code does gives me the ModelDoc2 of the assembly document but does not gives me the 'Referred Configuration'

Here I can get 'ActiveConfigguration' of the Assembly but in a case when Active configuration is not the Referred onfiguration then the code failes.

Please help me with this.

Thanks,

Sumedh
