CATIA Search 1

[catdeveloper_begin]

Is there a way to search for published elements in a CATIA part when working in a macro?

I need to select a particular published element in one file and copy it to the other file through code. Currently I am looking for the element by name. But, the element is published. And I have to copy only the published element of that name and any other element with the same characters in the name which is not published has to be ignored.

How can I get this done?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Try this:

 Dim publications1 = part1.Publications
            Num_publications = publications1.Count
            For b = 1 To Num_publications

                Dim publication1 = publications1.Item(b)

                Dim pubRef As Reference

                pubRef = publication1.Valuation

                Dim PubName As String = publication1.Name

Next
pubRef is the one you need to select.
