API How to get part configurations from assembly

API How to get part configurations from assembly

API How to get part configurations from assembly

(OP)
I have an assembly that has a part brought into 4 times with 4 different configurations.  I am able to traverse the assembly just fine, but it only opens the part file in the last saved configuration with the getactiveconfiguration call.  So I get the same config 4 times.

How do I open up the part file of the current config in the assembly.  I tried looking at the referencedconfiguration call with no luck.

SW2006 SP0.

Open component in referenced configuration
This macro can be used in assemblies. Select a component and run this macro. It opens the referenced model and automatically activates the referenced configuration. You decrease the risk of changing the wrong configuration.
