FullPath of Selected Product / Part in an Assembly

FullPath of Selected Product / Part in an Assembly

FullPath of Selected Product / Part in an Assembly

(OP)
Hi there,

I am trying to get the fullpath of selected product/part in an catia assembly. Below is the code i am trying for.

Sub CATMain()
Dim oSelection As Selection
Dim theComponent As Product
Set oSelection = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
Set theComponent = oSelection.Item2(1).Value
msgbox(theComponent.Name) -> Instance name here
msgbox(theComponent.FullName) -> here is the error
End Sub

I am able to get product/part Name and instance name but not the fullpath ("D:\CATIA\...\.CATPart")

Thanks in advance.

RE: FullPath of Selected Product / Part in an Assembly

try MsgBox (theComponent.ReferenceProduct.Parent.FullName)
generally, I use a vb editor to find the part's/product's expressions and correct references :)

regards,
LWolf
