Hi SW Community,
Im am currently working on a macro that will get all the components inside a sub-assembly..
But I need to get them on how they are arranged in the assembly.
So I used the Feature function, but when I get the component inside the sub assembly I cannot
cast it to component even though I already check if its component or not.
Here's my code.
Feature swFeat = (Feature)swModel.FirstFeature();
while((swFeat != null)\
{
Entity entity = (Entity)swFeat;
// check if component
if (entity.GetType() == (int)swSelectType_e.swSelCOMPONENTS){
Component2 comp = (Component2)swFeat.GetSpecificFeature2();if (!comp.ExcludeFromBOM & !comp.IsSuppressed())
{Feature swSubFeat = (Feature)((ModelDoc2)comp.GetModelDoc2()).FirstFeature();
while ((swSubFeat!= null))
{
if (((Entity)swSubFeat).GetType() == (int)swSelectType_e.swSelCOMPONENTS)
{
/// I have a problem in casting the swSubFeat into component
Component2 subComp = (Component2)swSubFeat.GetSpecificFeature2();
}
swSubFeat= (Feature)swSubFeat.GetNextSubFeature();
}
}
}
swFeat = (Feature)swFeat.GetNextFeature();
}
Does anyone know why I cant cast the swSubFeat into component even though I already checked if the feature is component or not?
Thanks in advance.
