Where used macro?

Hi,

Does anyone where to find a macro which can write the assembly name in which
the part is used? This way it would be possible to get a so called "bottom
up tree". You could also see in which assemblies the part is used.

Thanks

My understanding is that the part file does not actually contain any
information about the assy or drawing so there is no way to query it, macro
or otherwise, to find out what files are related to the part. The assy and
the drawing, on the other hand, do contain information about the part,
namely the path. This is why you can move (or change) a drawing or assy and
the part will not ask for a new location (or require an update).

As Jason said, SW Explorer requires a range of directories when looking for
"where used" information on parts. It is actually querying each assy and
drawing file in that range to see if it contains path information about the
part.

HTH,

JJ
