I am creating a macro, which add material to part, read mass and put it to lblMassValue. Button2 add material to Body but weight is not updated, it stays the same as it was without material.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Public MyActiveDocument As Document
Public MyProduct As Product
Public MyParamMass As Double
Public MyPart As Part
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MyActiveDocument = GetCATIA.ActiveDocument

GetCATIA()
End Sub
Public Function GetCATIA() As INFITF.Application
Try
GetCATIA = GetObject(, "CATIA.Application")
lblMasaValue.Text = MyParamMass
Catch NoCATIARunning As Exception
GetCATIA = CreateObject("CATIA.Application")

MaterialDocument = GetCATIA.Documents.Read(MaterialDocPath)
MyMaterial = MaterialDocument.Families.Item(MaterialFamilyName).Materials.Item(MaterialName)
CATMatManager = MyPart.GetItem("CATMatManagerVBExt")
MyBody = MyPart.MainBody
' -----------------------------------------------------------
' Apply the material on the Product (as a link)

LinkMode = 1
CATMatManager.ApplyMaterialOnBody(MyBody, MyMaterial, LinkMode)

' Retrieve the material applied on the Product

MyPart.Update()
lblMassValue.Update()
lblMassValue.Text = MyParamMass
