Journal To Move Assembly Constraints To Layer

[Moritero]

Hello!
I have a pretty basic question.
I am trying to write a journal to move assembly constraints to specific layer.
I can write the journal works with bodies:

"Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpen.NXObject
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
If IsNothing(theSession.Parts.BaseWork) Then
Return
End If
Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work
' Bodies to layer 1
Const BodiesLayer As Integer = 1
Dim displayModification2 As DisplayModification
displayModification2 = theSession.DisplayManager.NewDisplayModification()
displayModification2.NewLayer = BodiesLayer
displayModification2.Apply(workPart.Bodies.ToArray)
displayModification2.Dispose()
End Sub
End Module"

And it works fine. But with constrains it didnt work:
displayModification2.Apply(workPart.ComponentAssembly.Positioner.Constraints.ToArray)
Syntax errors:
Line:"It is not possible to convert a 1-D array from NXOpen.Positioning.Constraint to 1-D array from NXOpen.DisplayableObject, because NXOpen.Positioning.Constraint is not derived from NXOpen.DisplayableObject"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I think Constraints , like features cannot be moved to a separate layer.

If you choose the "move to layer" function, "assembly constraint" is an option in the filter window. I've used this many times to organize the display, and am also very interested in automating this operation.

There is a DisplayedConstraint object type that is used to represent the constraint in the graphics window. These objects inherit from the DisplayableObject type and can be hidden, moved to a new layer, etc. If you have a reference to a constraint object, use its .GetDisplayedConstraint method to get the corresponding displayed constraint.

Do you have a good reason why move these ?

Yes, I need to draw up a lot of models, and I want to automate it. But I still didnt finish a journal...
