Placement via Interface
The element PRO_E_COMP_PLACE_INTERFACE is a compound element that defines an alternative assembly technique: using component interfaces to define the placement instead of traditional constraints.
PRO_E_COMP_PLACE_INTERFACE
The element contains the following elements:
• PRO_E_COMP_PLACE_INTERFACE_TYPE—Specifies the interface types as follows:
◦ PRO_ASM_INTFC_TO_GEOM—Assembly of the component by matching an interface on the component to referenced geometry in the assembly.
◦ PRO_ASM_INTFC_TO_INTFC—Assembly of the component by matching an interface on the component to an interface defined in the assembly.
 If this value is not set (set to 0) then component interfaces are not used to define this component. |
• PRO_E_COMP_PLACE_INTERFACE_COMP—Specifies the component model interface. This should contain the component interface feature.
• PRO_E_COMP_PLACE_INTERFACE_ASSEMS—Specifies an array of assembly references. If the placement type is PRO_ASM_INTFC_TO_GEOM this contains 1 or more geometric references from the assembly. If the placement type is PRO_ASM_INTFC_TO_INTFC this contains a single reference element containing the component interface feature.
