how to explode pattern by vba 2

[ialscorp]

If I have many rect. and circ. patterns in partbody
can I explode all by one click?
or should I manually select each pattern and explode ;(

Hi !

Have you tried Edit / Search and then Select. Finally Explode selected.
By Search dialog you can even save favorite searches.

but it explodes only last selected pattern....not all

in vba search for all the patterns and cycle through them exploding as you go
Personally I do not like explode pattern as it creates isolated sketch supports for all the exploded entities, but you may not need to worry about this

the problem was that I did not find explode method for pattern...(nor for rectpattern object nor for circpattern object) could You advice something

In Tools->customise alias the "Explode..." command to exp and use the following in your code

CATIA.StartCommand "exp"
