Gathering Components by Rule
Function Introduced:
• ProRuleEval()
Creo+ provides large assembly management tools. This section describes the access to some of this functionality through Creo TOOLKIT.
You can specify different types of rules and use them to generate a list of components for which the rule applies. After initializing the rule, call the function ProRuleEval() to generate the list of components that follow this rule.
Note that the returned list of components is in the form of an expandable array (ProArray), which is allocated by this function. To release the allocated memory, call the function ProArrayFree().
The components can be gathered using the following rules:
• By model name
• By parameters, using an expression
• By location with a zone
• By distance from a point
• By size
• By an existing simplified representation
See the Assembly Modeling User’s Guide for more details on this functionality.
