change compdef properties

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hello All. Does anybody know if it is possible to change a component property and how? Components have instance properties(like CLIP_DRAWING) and definition properties (like PART_NUMBER). I want to change the PART_NUMBER. I tried with axlDBDeleteProp but unsucessfully. (I was thinking to delete and then add a new one with axlDBAddProp.) I only succeeded on deleting ALL part_numbers properties... so it might be possible, but "nil" is the only answer to my tries! ;-) I also tried to add properties to dictionary but once again with nil (axlDBCreatePropDictEntry)... Thanks in advance.

    The PART_NUMBER property is not permitted on a component instance (compInst) which is what you get when you
    fetch them via the Selection set method. Instead modify your code to
    compDef = comp->comdef
    axlDBAddProp(compDef '("PART_NUMBER" "Wanted Value"))
