Product reordering in CATIA V5 VBA 4

[tesak]

Hello all,
if you have already tried to find a way how to reorder specification tree in CATIA V5 VBA, you know that it is almost impossible. Functions for reordering of CATIA tree has not yet been exposed to CATIA API. There are a few tools available on the internet and maybe you already use some of them. If you want to know how they work, you may find your answer here:

Hi All

I have downloaded the exe from weagan22 link
and checked I have the .dll linked in CATIA V5 R21 but I get an error message
Failed to run graph tree reordering command

I have also Extracted the full Project Code but only have CATIA Internal VBA and this
does not load the Forms etc....

Can you help - as this is such a needed utility

People are still looking for this, huh? That was some garbage code I wrote back then; first thing I ever programmed, haha.

Although I do have English V5 R21 I also get an error running the exe

 

[weagan22]

That code was written for R25. They changed the name of the reorder tool command slightly (not sure exactly the change as I don't have R21) I think it was something like "Graph tree Reorder" to "Graph tree reordering" which I think is why you are getting the error. The code isn't running the reorder tool in CATIA and thus isn't finding the reorder window that opens.

Thanks for the explanation

 

[Ian Cuz]

I modified the code line
CATIA.StartCommand("Graph tree Reordering")
to have Capital Letter 'R' on the word Reordering and the exe now works

Sweet!
