Hello,
In my use case I want to load a step-file of a component and save it using API and assign a new VCID to it.
I am able to successfully load the component but unable to save it using the methods like Save or savestate. Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks,
Raghu
Hey Este,
Thankyou very much for the reply.
I already tried saving it using vcComponent.save(file_uri) but I was unable to save it.I get a output stating that the comp is still a none type object.I am attaching the necessary screenshots.
The load method fails to return the loaded component for some reason. I came up with a workaround that uses the app.OnComponentAdded event instead.
from vcScript import *
def component_added(component):
global part2
part2 = component
def button_pressed(arg):
app.OnComponentAdded = component_added
part = app.load(source_file)
app.OnComponentAdded = None
print(part)
if part is not None:
part.save(destination_file)
elif part2 is not None:
part2.save(destination_file)
else:
print("Part is None")
return
print("Finished")
app = getApplication()
comp = getComponent()
button = comp.getProperty("Button_1")
button.OnChanged = button_pressed
source_file = "file:///C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/test_file.step"
destination_file = "file:///C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/test_output.vcmx"
Just replace the USERNAME on those file locations with your own username.
Thankyou very much for the information Este. It worked with the workaround and a new VCID was given by the application.This resolves my issue.Thankyou
Hi Este,
First of all,Thanks for your help previously.
A new issue has arised and I am unable to solve it and was hoping that you could help me out.
After saving the file and making sure a new VCID is assigned, I tried to load the component again with the VCID obtained.Unfortunately, I am not able to do so.I am attaching the screenshots for your referral.
Thankyou
