CATIA CAA - How to create and access Tables in a Drawing 2

[MShetty]

I am currently developing an application in CAA and I am unable to access the Tables in a drawing or create new one.
Any idea what the interface and Framework I am supposed to use?

Hi.

There's no specific tables API in CAA so you just use one designed for Automation - CATIADrawingTable from [tt]DraftingInterfaces[/tt] framework.

Thank you for the reply Little Cthulhu,
So the only way is to perform an ExecuteScript and get the Tables from VBA?

Thanks in advance.

No, you can use all Automation interfaces directly in CAA. Include "TIE_CATIADrawingTable.h" and you're ready to QueryInterface.

Hi Little Cthulhu,

I'm working on something similar like this, so could you please elaborate about including the ".h". How its suppose to be done? Also how do i access the properties (VBA) of any object in CAA

so could you please elaborate about including the ".h".

File includes are the very basis of C++. Sorry, I'm not going to teach programming.

Also how do i access the properties (VBA) of any object in CAA

There's no such thing as "properties access (VBA)" in CAA nor in VBA. Properties are divided into interfaces, each with unique set of members. You get an interface (typically with QueryInterface) - you access some properties.
