Hi,

I have to check some "properties" on all components in an opened assembly (loop through all sub-assembly level).

I created a loop for it, and first of all I have to check the name and if current component is assembly or not?

This seem easy at first sight but I stucked, because if the "inspected" component is virtual and suppressed, I have no idea how to get these informations.

This is a shoerened code with "looper" function:

Option Explicit

Public swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

Public swModel As ModelDoc2

Sub Main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc

LevelLoop swModel     'first call of "looper" with currently opened assembly

End Sub

Function LevelLoop(swModelBase As ModelDoc2)

    Dim vComps As Variant

    Dim swAssy As SldWorks.AssemblyDoc

    Dim swComp As SldWorks.Component2

    Dim swModel As ModelDoc2

    Dim i As Integer

    Dim name As String

    Dim compType as String

    If swModelBase.GetType = swDocASSEMBLY Then

        Set swAssy = swModelBase

        vComps = swAssy.GetComponents(True)

        If Not IsEmpty(vComps) Then

            For i = 0 To UBound(vComps)     'loop through all of current asm's components

                Set swComp = vComps(i)    

                Set swModel = swComp.GetModelDoc2

                'get component name and type..

                If swComp.GetSuppression <> 0 Then

'if component is RESOLVED or VIRTUAL, "swComp.Name" and "swModel.GetType" works 

                    name = swComp.Name    

                    If swModel.GetType = swDocASSEMBLY Then compType = "ASM" Else compType = ""

                Else

'if component is SUPPRESSED, "swComp.Name" and "swModel.GetType" doesn't works,

'therefore that was my idea to decide component asm or not, but VIRTUAL components has no path :/

                    name = swComp.GetPathName    

                    If UCase(Right(swComp.GetPathName, 6)) = "SLDASM" Then compType = "ASM" Else compType = ""

                End If

                If compType = "ASM" Then

                    If swComp.GetSuppression <> 0 Then

                        DoSomething

                        LevelLoop swModel     'the looper function "goes inside" of the current assembly

                    End If

                End If

            Next i

        End If

    End If

End Function

Anybody has any idea?

Thank you
