bodies selected outside of the work part

Hi,

Using the block UI Styler, does anyone know, what is the best way to keep a reference on body/ies selected outside of the work part from other assembly or part components.

Indeed, I tried the following:
- Setup a dialogue implementing a Body Collector block to collect the required body.
- In the “apply_cb()” callback function of the dialogue, creates an UDO (so at work part scope) and linked it to the selected body with type3.
- Later on in the work part scope, retrieve the UDO; asks its Links of type 3 => LinkDefinition vector is empty…

Note that:
- In the “apply_cb()” callback function, asking the “occurrenceable” status of the body return "False"
- If bodies are selected in the work part scope, it works fine.
- If these are curve objects and not body objects that are selected it works fine.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Elyann

Hello,

I resolved my problem by using a "Select Object" block in my dialogue instead of the "Body Collector" block.

Moreover in the NX8 doc it is clearly specified that using the "Body Collector block": " Body selection intent is used in this block."
