How to do in a "show with dependent" assembly in vba

Out of category

Hello

I wish I had the code to run "show with dependent" in solidworks 2018 SP5.

I found this link but the processing time is much longer than the "show with dependent"  that you do manually in the SolidWorks feature manager.

http://help.solidworks.com/2015/english/api/sldworksapi/Show_All_Components_Example_VB.htm

Do you have any leads?

Thank you

Kind regards

Hello

You have to select the assembly and do a "ShowComponent2" on it, try the macro below (changing the name of the assembly "Assemblage1.SLDASM" to your own of course):

Dim swApp As Object
Dim Part As Object
Dim boolstatus As Boolean

Sub main()
   Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
   Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
   boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2("Assemblage1.SLDASM", "COMPONENT", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0)
   Part.ShowComponent2
End Sub

 

Be careful, this only works on a parent assembly and on top-level components.

Kind regards

Hello  D.Roger

Thank you for your answer.

I've already tried this code but indeed, it doesn't behave like the "show with dependents" which displays all the levels.

 

Here is the code that I found to be the fastest to run so far

 

Option Explicit

Public Enum swComponentVisibilityState_e

    swComponentHidden = 0
    swComponentVisible = 1

End Enum

 

Sub TraverseComponent(swComp As SldWorks.Component2, nLevel As Long)
    Dim vChildCompArr               As Variant
    Dim vChildComp                  As Variant
    Dim swChildComp                 As SldWorks.Component2
    Dim swCompConfig                As SldWorks.Configuration
    Dim sPadStr                     As String
    Dim i                           As Long

    
    For i = 0 To nLevel - 1

        sPadStr = sPadStr + "  "

    Next i

    
    vChildCompArr = swComp.GetChildren

    For Each vChildComp In vChildCompArr

        Set swChildComp = vChildComp
       
        Debug.Print sPadStr & swChildComp.Name2 & " <" & swChildComp.ReferencedConfiguration & ">"
        
        If swComponentHidden = swChildComp.Visible Then

            swChildComp.Visible = swComponentVisible

        End If
       
        TraverseComponent swChildComp, nLevel + 1

    Next

End Sub

    Dim swApp                       As SldWorks.SldWorks
    Dim swModel                     As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
    Dim swAssy                      As SldWorks.AssemblyDoc
    Dim swConf                      As SldWorks.Configuration
    Dim swRootComp                  As SldWorks.Component2
    Dim bRet                        As Boolean

    
    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
    Set swConf = swModel.GetActiveConfiguration
    Set swRootComp = swConf.GetRootComponent
    Debug.Print "File = " & swModel.GetPathName
    
    TraverseComponent swRootComp, 1

End Sub
