Identify occurrence face of the same part in different assemblies using NXOpen? 1

[biw01]

Hello Friends,

This group has never disappointed me when I have been looking for some answers to my NX automation. Here I come with another question. I have different assemblies in which the same part is instantiated (as another component assembly). Is there any direct NX API that I can use to determine an occurrence face across the different assemblies and relate them to the same prototype face.
I am aware of the "FindOccurrence" method that gives the occurrence face for the input prototype face. Is there any other way around?
My program takes as input one of the occurrence face in an assembly and I need to find out the same face in another assembly.

Thank you for your help!

If you have an occurrence face, you can get the prototype using the occFace.Prototype method. Once you have the prototype face, you can use the .AskOccsOfEntity to get references to all the occurrences in the current session. Since this returns all the occurrences in session, you may need to filter the results to determine which occurrences belong to the assembly of interest.
