Hello everybody, I believe that I'm going to be crazy. I'm using VB6 to control Smarteam. I know how to have the Object ID and the Class ID of a Part or a Product Catia. Great! But I don't find how to have the Parent's project's object ID, and class ID. I seek, but the solution is hided. Furthermore, how to show the Profil Card having a Class Id?... Help!! I want to find it... Thanks Regards, Celine, close to be crazy

Celine, this is not an easy task, and depends on your usage scenario. What hook are you using to call your custom (User Defined Tool, After Add , etc)? On which context? (call it from Smarteam Editor, from CATIA Integration, etc). Usually you cannot rely on links to get this info, as a Part may belong to more than one project (so you won't identify the project you're actually working on). But there's not a direct way to get your actual project. Anyway, there's a workaround, but depends on your scenario. Eduardo

Sub RetrieveParents(WorkObject As SmApplic.ISmObject) Dim QueryDefinition As SmApplic.ISmQueryDefinition Dim Parents As SmApplic.ISmObjects ' collection of objects ' Define query Set QueryDefinition = Nothing ' Retrieve all object parents Set Parents = WorkObject.RetrieveParents(QueryDefinition) ' Check if there are parents for object If Parents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox "No parents" Else MsgBox "Number of object parents: " & CSTr(Parents.Count) End If End Sub

This code retrieves the parents of an object on a hierarchical tree relation. The problem is that between Projects and Parts (in fact, any other superclass object) you won't have this kind of relation (usually you'll have at least a Project-Documents relation). But an object (like a Part) may be linked to more than one project, or to none, depending on what you did and how you saved. So, like I said, there may be workarounds depending on the scenario.

Im using SmarTeam Editor V5R17 and having there a script developed that should help a user to put a new file into SmarTeam. The purpose is that user needs only point a folder in SmarTeam and select a file from a local machine. Current workflow is: start to browse "Documents related to : XXXX project" from projects tree select a folder where you want to add new document run the script "Add new document" by RMB from User Defined Tools. select a file from your local machine press OK SmarTeam Projects window appears ... select again the Project you were browsing. I want to get rid of this step ... press OK The document will be saved & checked in to SmarTeam succesfully Can I somehow find the project info from that "Documents related to : XXXX project" window where the script was launched? regards, Heikki

Heikki, Just a thought. What if you eliminate steps 1 and 2. This would make the browse in step 6 the only one the user had to deal with. Slightly different order, but the same result. Regards, Hale
