Hi all,

maybe you could help me on this...

I have a code which suppose to do next: 

I select the part "Z" in the assembly. Then opens file dialog where I chose old drawing(created for previous revision of this part, let's call it "Y") where I want to replace all views to refer "Z" instead "Y".

I have a drawing open. I would like to not select or activate anything, just iterate through all views and replace model on all views. ReplaceViewModel method somehow returns always false. One more thing: what are Instances in this method? How to get them?

current code

Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc

If swModel.GetType = swDocASSEMBLY Or swModel.GetType = swDocPART Then
Set swSelMgr = swModel.SelectionManager
sSelCount = swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectCount()
ReDim aComponent(sSelCount - 1)
Filter = "SOLIDWORKS Drawings (*.slddrw)|*.slddrw|All Files (*.*)|*.*|"

If sSelCount <> 0 Then sUbound = sSelCount - 1 Else sUbound = sSelCount
For i = 0 To sUbound
If sSelCount <> 0 Then
Set swSelComp = swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectsComponent4(i + 1, 0)
swPath = swSelComp.GetPathName
Else
swPath = swModel.GetPathName
End If

'manipulating partnumber

sBaseFilePath = Left(swPath, InStrRev(swPath, ".") - 1)
aFileNamePartNo = Split(sBaseFilePath, "\")
sFileNamePartNo = aFileNamePartNo(UBound(aFileNamePartNo))
sFileNamePartNo2 = Split(sFileNamePartNo, " ")(0)
sDrawingForReusePath = swApp.GetOpenFileName("Select old drawing you want to reuse with " & sFileNamePartNo2, swPath, Filter, fileOptions, fileConfig, fileDispName)

'open drawing
Set swDrawing = swApp.OpenDoc6(sDrawingForReusePath, swDocDRAWING, swOpenDocOptions_Silent, "", swErrors, swWarnings)
Set swDrawing = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swModelDocExt = swDrawing.Extension
Set swView = swDrawing.GetFirstView
ReDim aViews(0)
ReDim aViewName(0)
'For j = 1 To swDrawing.GetSheetCount
'Set swView = swView.GetNextView
'For k = 1 To UBound(aViews)
Do While Not swView Is Nothing
k = k + 1
ReDim Preserve aViews(k)

Set swView = swView.GetNextView
Set aViews(k) = swView
If Not swView Is Nothing Then
ReDim Preserve aViewName(k)
aViewName(k) = aViews(k).Name
End If
Loop
'Next k
'Next j

here it doesnt work:
boolstatus = swDrawingComponent.ReplaceViewModel(sBaseFilePath & ".sldprt", (aViews), (aInstances))
boolstatus = swDrawing.Rebuild(1)
longstatus = swModelDocExt.SaveAs(sBaseFilePath & ".slddrw", swSaveAsCurrentVersion, swSaveAsOptions_Silent, Nothing, swErrors, swWarnings)

Next
End If
End Sub

Any help, or examples maybe?
