*ME_ModuleOccurrenceReparent

Move a part or part assembly underneath another part assembly in the model hierarchy.

Syntax

*ME_ModuleOccurrenceReparent child_id parent_id ?options?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Move a part or part assembly underneath another part assembly in the model hierarchy. This is only allowed in cases where it does not break sub-assembly instancing.

Inputs

child_id
The ID of the part or part assembly to move. The part must be an occurrence.
parent_id
The ID of the part (if empty and convertible to a part assembly) or part assembly to become the parent.
options (optional)
List of input options, passed as a comma separated string enclosed in quotes. Valid options are:
matrix_mode=<mode>
0 - Retain the relative position of the child part (default). This may cause the part to translate if there are matrices stored at different levels in the hierarchy.
1 - Retain the absolute position of the child part.

Example

Reparent part ID 100 under part assembly 8 in the hierarchy, keeping the absolute matrix:

*ME_ModuleOccurrenceReparent 100 8 "matrix_mode=1"

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
