Need help in searching and selection of part

[Aviatorbarath]

I have a hybrid shape "INtersect in a know geometric set. I would like to do the selection automatically which is in the Geometric set named " geometric_Set_Disassemble rather specifying the name of the intersect

Any suggestions. My actual code is given below

Dim hybridbody8
Set hybridbody8 = hybridBodies1.Item(" Geometric_Set_Disassemble")
Set hybridShapes1 = hybridbody8.HybridShapes
Set selection1 = partDocument1.Selection

Set Disassemble = hybridShapes1.Item[highlight #FCE94F]("Intersect.2")[/highlight]
CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection.Add (Disassemble)


Dim hybridbody9
Set hybridbody9 = hybridBodies1.Add()
hybridbody9.Name = " Disassembled_Lines"
'sets the newly created geometrical set as the in work object
Set hybridbody9 = hybridBodies1.Item(" Disassembled_Lines")

CATIA.StartCommand ("Disassemble")
' WshShell.AppActivate ("Disassemble")
'Call WshShell.SendKeys("%{TAB}", True)
CATIA.RefreshDisplay = True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True

I suppose is vba because in CATScript send keys is not working (as far as I know). Is working thru a vbs file (calling the vbs in CATScript).

By the way, when use send keys is good to set also a delay to let time command to be executed.

You can use also "user selection" to get the element you need and work with references.

If you want to use search function to select something I can recommend you this link to understand better how is working.

Hi ferdo

yea You are right. Send keys dont work in CATScript thats y opted VBA and as per suggestion added delay code bfore send key execution.

And thanks for that useful link, it was more than useful

Thanks and regards

Hi ferdo

I found the syntax for selecting the object named Intersect. but bfore that how do i select the geometric set. I need the intersect object only from the specified geometric set..

Any suggestion

Use first search function (search your Geo Set by name), then select what you want inside the already selected Geo Set. There are several examples in CATIA Portable Script Center and on net.
