SchUpdateInstances (Object)

Update all the instances of a given local reference in a document. Both the local reference and all its instances will be updated to account for any changes in the corresponding catalog reference.

Example:

This example illustrates how to update all the schematic component instances in the active document by selecting any one of the instances or their local reference.

 ' --- get SchUpdateInstances interface
 Dim objCurrentDoc As Document
 Dim objPrdRoot As Product
 Dim objSchRoot As SchematicRoot
 Dim objUpdateInstances As SchUpdateInstances
 Set objCurrentDoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
 Set objPrdRoot = objCurrentDoc.Product
 Set objSchRoot = objPrdRoot.GetTechnologicalObject ("SchematicRoot")
 Set objUpdateInstances = objSchRoot.GetInteface ("CATIASchUpdateInstances",objCurrentDoc)

 ' --- get the local reference 
 Dim objPrdInst As Product
 Dim objPrdRef As Product
 Dim objCompRef As SchComponent
 ' --- get an instance, objPrdInst from the selected set of objects
 Set objPrdInst = objCurrentDoc.Selection.FindObject("CATIAProduct")
 Set objPrdRef = objPrdInst.ReferenceProduct
 Set objCompRef = objSchRoot.GetInterface ("CATIASchComponent",objPrdRef)

 ' --- update all the instances
 objUpdateInstances.UpdateAllInstancesFromReference objCompRef
