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.
