CATIA V5 macro: Identification of affected parts in assembly

[Foolonduty]

Hello all together,
I am new here (as well as in CATIA macro programming).

Is it possible for a CATIA macro to detect affected parts?

An example to explain:
If a screw is placed in an assembly, is it possible to recognise via macro in which components a through hole or thread must be placed?

Or simplier:
You create a point in a part and the macro determines the part that is also touched by the point.

Kind regards

isn't this something that your plm system is capable of? A proximity search of some sort...

regards,
LWolf

You can use Clashes to compute interfering geometry.

Although LWolf got the point and you shouldn't perform such analysis in the first place. In fact, I see part relationship as an input to determine correct position in space, not vice versa.
