Who used the Component2::UpdateExternalFileReferences API function?

[ZsZs]

The description of this function in the API-help are nothing.
I how using it?
(I'm computer programmer not a CAD architect...)

Never used, but I'll look into it.

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

While this is probably the best SW forum around, it is still tough to get API help anywhere. I recommend also try the forums in the SW website.

What do you need to accomplish? Why are you interested in this call?

Thanks!
I wrote the API-forum of Solidwors, but no answer...

I like use the Pack And Go function from my application, but haven't Pack And Go API-function.
I need the to realize that copy the source assembly (with parts) BUT copy a another location.

May be the essential of this function the CopyDocument() API-function.

My experience of CopyDocument function:
1. Correct working IF the names of source files identical with the names of destination files. Not possible the rename of document.
2. If the root document contain only parts (not any assembly) and I change the name of destination files - working correctly too (copy and rename).
3. (It is difficult for my poor english knowledge...)
If I scan the document-tree, and walk form end (leaf-assembly) and I always copy+rename only the end of hierarchy (as I wrote above in the part 2) the copy+rename fully working with a big and difficult source doucument.

My big problem:
If a part referencing a another part (signed with "->" in the component-tree) the reference os part not copied and the document crashed.
I found the Component2::UpdateExternalFileReferences function in the API-help, but I don't understand the work of this function.
I need source and destination for the change, but this function contain only constant values without concrete file names. How change its?

A another possible solution for this problem:
EditSketch and any method to change the references?

I capture the Solidworks screen and I attach.
I like to change the path the external reference assembly file (in the red ellipse) to the correct value. (C:\TE3\...)

Have a any possibility?
I don't able to change in the Solidworks.

I found the solution: SldWorks::ReplaceReferencedDocument()
