Graph Tree Reorder in Product/Assembly

[SKimi]

Hello, I am trying to write a method to reorder the graph tree in CATIA using CAA & VBA, (using .idl) So is there any way someone can tell me from where to begin with. I already check the existing tool "Graph Tree Reodering" but i don't find any help from it to build my own api/method. Any leads would help.

Hello @SKimi, Any luck with this? Even I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do the same. Been looking at CATIDescendants and checking can something be done.

CATIDescendants::ChangePosition works fine with features inside CATPart, but not with products inside CATProduct.
There's a specific interface for reordering products, unfortunately it's not a part of CAA client's installation.

Another option is to automate reodering via "Reorder Tree" command with WinAPI. Works pretty reliable.

Use the Object Browser, record macros, start with small test cases, handle errors.

Yes, unfortunately CATIDescendants did not add any help for me. May be using WinAPI is better option.

Any idea how I can find this or know more about this? contact DS?
