Hey everyone,

I've been testing something that some users asked me to do.

Project :

Be able to change the Bom source of every referenced file from a TopLevel assembly with the click of a button.

Client is using Solidworks 2016 SP4.

APIs Used : Solidworks 2019 SP1 (It's fine as long as you use fonctions available in the 2016 version)

Solution 1 :

I achieved this project but without the most optimal solution. Basically I get all the referenced configurations and I open them 1 by 1, change the BomPartNoSource to what was desired and I save it.

    Sub ChangerNomenclatureMeuble_NomConfiguration()
        ChangerNomenclature_Boucle(IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(swDoc.GetPathName), swDoc.GetPathName, swDoc.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration.Name, swBOMPartNumberSource_e.swBOMPartNumber_ConfigurationName)
        SwApp.SendMsgToUser2("Les nomenclatures sont changées!", swMessageBoxIcon_e.swMbInformation, swMessageBoxBtn_e.swMbOk)
    End Sub

    Private Sub ChangerNomenclature_Boucle(TopLevelName As String, FileName As String, Config As String, BomSource As swBOMPartNumberSource_e)
        Dim currDoc As sldworks.ModelDoc2
        If FileName <> "" Then currDoc = OpenFile(FileName)
        Dim ConfigurationOpened As Boolean = currDoc.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration.Name = Config OrElse currDoc.ShowConfiguration2(Config)
        Dim CurrentConfig As sldworks.Configuration = currDoc.GetConfigurationByName(Config)
        CurrentConfig.BOMPartNoSource = BomSource
        currDoc.Save2(True)
        For Each Piece As FileConfig In GetAllPartsOfAssembly(TopLevelName, currDoc, Config)
            ChangerNomenclature_Boucle(TopLevelName, Piece.File, Piece.Config, BomSource)
            SwApp.CloseDoc(Piece.File)
        Next
    End Sub

    Private Function GetAllPartsOfAssembly(TopLevelName As String, currDoc As sldworks.ModelDoc2, Config As String) As List(Of FileConfig)
        Dim ReturnList As New List(Of FileConfig)
        Dim CurrentConfig As sldworks.Configuration = currDoc.GetConfigurationByName(Config)
        Dim Component As sldworks.Component2 = CurrentConfig.GetRootComponent3(True)
        Dim Enfants As Object = Component.GetChildren()
        If Enfants Is Nothing Then Return ReturnList
        For i = 0 To UBound(Enfants)
            Dim ChildComp As sldworks.Component2 = Enfants(i)
            If ChildComp.Name.ToUpper.Contains(TopLevelName.ToUpper) Then ReturnList.Add(New FileConfig(ChildComp.GetPathName(), ChildComp.ReferencedConfiguration))
        Next
        Return ReturnList
    End Function

Solution 2 :

Use the Document Manager APIs to do everything without opening a single file.

    Sub ChangerNomenclatureMeuble_NomConfiguration()
        ChangerNomenclature_Boucle_DocManager(IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(swDoc.GetPathName), swDoc.GetPathName, swDoc.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration.Name, swDmBOMPartNumberSource.swDmBOMPartNumber_ConfigurationName)
        SwApp.SendMsgToUser2("Les nomenclatures sont changées!", swMessageBoxIcon_e.swMbInformation, swMessageBoxBtn_e.swMbOk)
    End Sub

    Private Sub ChangerNomenclature_Boucle_DocManager(TopLevelName As String, FileName As String, Config As String, BomSource As swDmBOMPartNumberSource)
        Const sLicenseKey2016 As String = "LicenceKeyExample"
        FreeMemory()
        Dim DocType As swDocumentTypes_e = swDocumentTypes_e.swDocPART
        If FileName.ToUpper.EndsWith(".SLDASM") Then DocType = swDocumentTypes_e.swDocASSEMBLY
        Dim swClassFact As SwDMClassFactory = CreateObject("SwDocumentMgr.SwDMClassFactory")
        Dim dmApp As SwDMApplication4 = swClassFact.GetApplication(sLicenseKey2016)
        Dim nRetVal As Long
        Dim swDocument As SwDMDocument20 = dmApp.GetDocument(FileName, DocType, True, nRetVal)
        Dim swCfgMgr As SwDMConfigurationMgr = swDocument.ConfigurationManager
        Dim swConfig As SwDMConfiguration11 = swCfgMgr.GetConfigurationByName(Config)
        'Not Implemented yet
        swConfig.BOMPartNoSource = BomSource
        swDocument.Save()
        For Each Piece As FileConfig In GetAllPartsOfAssembly_DocManager(TopLevelName, dmApp, swDocument, Config)
            ChangerNomenclature_Boucle_DocManager(TopLevelName, Piece.File, Piece.Config, BomSource)
            SwApp.CloseDoc(Piece.File)
        Next
    End Sub

    Private Function GetAllPartsOfAssembly_DocManager(TopLevelName As String, dmApp As SwDMApplication4, dmDoc As SwDMDocument18, Config As String) As List(Of FileConfig)
        Dim ReturnList As New List(Of FileConfig)
        Dim SearchOptions As SwDMExternalReferenceOption2 = dmApp.GetExternalReferenceOptionObject2()
        SearchOptions.Configuration = Config
        SearchOptions.NeedSuppress = False
        SearchOptions.SearchOption = dmApp.GetSearchOptionObject()
        Dim BrokenRefVar As Object
        Dim isVirtual As Object
        Dim TimeStamp As Object
        Dim ImportedPaths As Object
        Dim dmReferences As Object = dmDoc.GetExternalFeatureReferences2(SearchOptions)
        If dmReferences Is Nothing Then Return ReturnList
        For i = 0 To UBound(dmReferences)
            Dim ChildComp As sldworks.Component2 = dmReferences(i)
            If ChildComp.Name.ToUpper.Contains(TopLevelName.ToUpper) Then ReturnList.Add(New FileConfig(ChildComp.GetPathName(), ChildComp.ReferencedConfiguration))
        Next
        Return ReturnList
    End Function

Solution #2 gives an error when trying to set the Value of BomPartNoSource (NotImplementedYet).
