How to change Workbech ?

[Talou]

Hello,

New question, new thread...

I want to launch the command "Delete Useless Elements" which is in the "Part Design" workbench.
In the following pic. We can see that the user selected the Document. However, the active object is a product. Therefore we are on the "Assembly" workbench.

Question: How can I change the workbench to "Part Design" ?

I tried CATIA.StartWorkbench("PrtCfg") which create a new part and switch the ActiveDocument to that new part.

Thank you,

Talou;

this is what I do...
Set objPart1 = documents1.item(selection1.item(1).value.ReferenceProduct.Parent.name)

selection1.Clear
selection1.Add objPart1.Part
CATIA.StartWorkbench ("PrtCfg")
selection1.Clear

regards,
LWolf

Thank you LWolf!

Why do I suck so much at this!

I tried to feed the selection1.Add with PartDocument, ProductDocument, Document... Nothing was working.

When I'm reading the doc; I'm still confuse between CATIAPartDocument (which I guess it the .Part) and PartDocument which is something else.

Here is my code now:

Selection pSel = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection;
Product pProd = pSel.Item2(1).Value as Product;
CATBaseDispatch pObj = pProd.ReferenceProduct.Parent;
PartDocument pPart = pObj as PartDocument;
pSel.Clear();
pSel.Add(pPart.Part); // <-- The missing link...

CATIA.StartWorkbench("PrtCfg");

Tks again!

Talou;
