Restructuring imported assemblies via API
JoeyS
Member Posts: 1 ✭
I'm importing an assembly that with has multiple instances of the same part number, as shown here (3x PN3):
PN1
- PN2
- PN3
- PN3
- PN3
OnShape creates 3x Documents that are all identical copies of PN3, and an assembly structure that references each of them individually.
I would like to do a few different things:
- programmatically update the assembly to point all references to PN3 to one of the three Documents, and delete the other 2 obsolete PN3 Documents
- programmatically create a folder/file structure for the correct copy of PN3
- programmatically create a folder/file structure for the correct copy of PN3
- programmatically move (or copy) the PN3 Document to the newly created folder/file structure -- I see the Move Elements API that seems like it could do this; I'm having trouble getting it to work
Does anyone have any tips for these actions?
