how to find qantity # in assm
using modeldoc2.getdependencies2 returns an array of the parts used in an assembly. is there a command that will return the number of each part used in the assembly? such as if i know part x is used, is there a code to return the number of parts without traversing through the feature tree and counting the number of instances?

dan,
as far as i know, the only way to do it is to traverse the tree and count... it's not fun but it works. i did something like that. i populated a datagridview with different properties and the quantities from a given assembly. sounds like 2009 has a feature to display a bom in the assembly. maybe there is a new api that we can explore at release time...

tony is correct you will have to traverse but it is a very efficient process so i wouldn't worry about it
answer i suspected that was the case.
thanks for your anwers.
