I have the following code to retrieve the part component names of all drawing views in a multi sheet drawing. it works fine for views containing assemblies only but when it comes to views of part components it returns NULL for the array "vDrawChildCompArr", your help is appreciated, thanks.
Dim sheetCount As Long
Dim viewCount As Long
Dim currentSheetNum As Integer
currentSheetNum = 0
Dim ss As Variant
ss = swDraw.GetViews 'The return value is an array of arrays with a length equal to the number of sheets in the drawing document.
For sheetCount = LBound(ss) To UBound(ss) 'goes through all sheets
currentSheetNum = currentSheetNum + 1
Dim vv As Variant 'defines a variable to explore through the views of each sheet
vv = ss(sheetCount) 'gets views of each sheet
For viewCount = 1 To UBound(vv) 'first element of the array is the sheet itself and we dont need it
Debug.Print currentSheetNum
Set swView = vv(viewCount)
Set swRootDrawComp = swView.RootDrawingComponent
vDrawChildCompArr = swRootDrawComp.GetChildren
For Each vDrawChildComp In vDrawChildCompArr
Set swDrawComp = vDrawChildComp
Set swComp = swDrawComp.Component
strName = swComp.Name2
Debug.Print (strName)
Next vDrawChildComp
Next viewCount
Next sheetCount
