C++ API to read the publications

[kbandela]

I am writing a plugin where I need to read the publications under a product

I am able to read the publication names using this code.

CATIProduct_var spProductInst = GetProductInstance();
CATIPrdObjectPublisher_var piPublisher = NULL_var;
HRESULT hr = spProductInst->QueryInterface(IID_CATIPrdObjectPublisher, (void**)&piPublisher);
CATListValCATUnicodeString* pPublicationsList = NULL;
int publicationCount = piPublisher->ListPublications(pPublicationsList);


However, I need to get the actual point and plane object that was published. I tried out the GetDirectObject and GetFinalObject methods, but they are not providing the published objects.
If anyone can point me to the API that will be of great help

Thanks in advance

You can call Valuate or Valuation method of CATIAPublication and convert resulting CATIAReference to CATISpecObject with dedicated function of MECMOD framework.
