Macro to compare Components in assembly

[kavellis]

Hello all,

Need help to compare Components in a Assembly and find the missing parts.
+--------+
!Product1!
+--------+
!
+- Component1 (M01)
! !
+- Component2 (M02)
! !
+- Component3 (M99)

The user makes a COPY of some parts from Component1 and Component2 and PASTE in Component3 for mockup purpose. Later component 1 and 2 will be deactivated in the tree.
Ex: Component1 and 2 contains around 300 parts, component3 contains only 50 parts which are required to visualise in mockup.

My requirement is to find the missing parts (if any) in Component3 while making a copy from Component1 and 2. As its is difficult to zoom in every part in component3 and more over the part number and instance name is different for all the components and parts.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,
Kavelli.

Hello Fernando,

Thanks for the reply.
I do not have the licence for the comparison. I have basic HD2 licence.
That's the reason I was looking for an alternative solution.

Best regards,
Kavelli.

Another solution without macro... Clash analyse?

Hi,
I do not understand your remark in last sentence "more over the part number and instance name is different for all the components and parts". If it is really so, then it is almost impossible task even with macros.

Hi Tesak, Hi Frenando,

@Fernando: Right now i am checking using clash analysis. But it is taking more time for checking.

@Tesak: Yes the instance name will be (Myname_date_time stamp_number of part instance)
Ex: -kavelli_06.12.2017_11.29.07_010
-kavelli_06.12.2017_11.29.07_011

Is it possible for a code which zooms in every part in Component3 to visually check the part?
until transparency and color I made it. please find the code below. If i could ZOOMIN each part in M99 i think it will be time saving process for me.

Dim selection1 As Selection
Set selection1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
selection1.Search "Name=*M99*"
Set visPropertySet1 = selection1.VisProperties
visPropertySet1.SetRealColor 0, 0, 255, 1
visPropertySet1.SetRealOpacity 128, 1
CATIA.StartCommand "activate terminal node"
selection1.Clear

Regards,
kavelli.

If you use Clash Analyze, then you should be able to extract names/instances which you need to look at them.

You can loop thru a search criteria and zoom in to what you want.
