SW API set configuration

SW API set configuration

SW API set configuration

(OP)
Does anyone know how to set the active configuration?  I can set the configuration in my VB form to the current but then after the user enters in a value in the combo box I want it to change the current configuration to reflect that value.

Thanks.

RE: SW API set configuration

Try the following:

Set Model = swApp.ActiveDoc
   .....
   Model.ShowConfiguration2 ("Config name")

for earlier API versions it should be:
Model.ShowConfiguration ("Config name")

Regards

RE: SW API set configuration

Does anyone now how to change the active configuration of a part in an assembly?  I know to chage a configuration in an active part you use:


Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
Part.ShowConfiguration "configuration name"
End Sub

My problem is I want to change the configuration while in an assembly.
