Property Value

If this document is an assembly, then you could use this property to begin your traversal of the assembly components by making a subsequent call to IConfiguration::GetRootComponent or IConfiguration::IGetRootComponent2.

An IComponent2 object is based on the currently active configuration; one assembly configuration might suppress the component, while another might display it. Therefore, your traversal of IComponent2 objects might vary if you switch to a different configuration.

You should use this method of assembly traversal to replace previous calls to the Member class.

The order of calls used in a typical assembly traversal is:

1. IConfigurationManager::ActiveConfiguration (called only once)
2. IConfiguration::GetRootComponent or IConfiguration::IGetRootComponent2 (called only once)
3. IComponent2::GetChildren or IComponent::IGetChildren. (called recursively)

From the SOLIDWORKS API, the IConfiguration and IComponent2 objects provide access to all the child components, their transforms, their bodies, as seen in a specific assembly configuration. The component body objects and component transforms can vary based on the configuration; therefore, you should traverse components for each configuration.

You can use IComponent2::GetBody on each assembly component to get the body of each component with the hole feature that was applied in this configuration. If you switch to a configuration without the assembly-level hole and re-traverse the component objects, then IComponent2::IGetBody returns the body object without the hole feature.
