Find over positioning instances on assembly design
Find over positioning instances on assembly design
(OP)
Hello everyone,
Is there anyway to find or to show over positioning instances in assembly (i.e. indicate if there are more than one instance of same part in the same position and orientation)? I have a huge assembly to check and this situation annoys me.
Best regards,
Richard.

RE: Find over positioning instances on assembly design
you could find many example of recursive script going through a structure, also retriving relative position to an instance is easy. Search in the forum...
You just have to convert that to GPS check FAQ560-1824: VERY Useful Catia VBA Functions
To check duplicate, you could use some info from FAQ560-1377: XYZ of point to a text file.
and do the action that you want to identify duplicate, check the forum, they were some request like that not long ago.
search for all pieces, put them together and voila.
If you need help with scripting, put your code together here and please tell us where you got it, it might help us to help you.
Cheers

I've run in the same problem, clash analyze will take for ever for a huge assembly...scripting is much better, you don't have to put in design mode...
