Simp Rep Help

I have a part that has several instances. With toolkit I am opening one of those instances and retrieving a simp rep. Then I output an ACIS file and then I want to clear my memory of everything except the generic part that I started with. How do I do this? I am unable to successfully call ProFaminstanceErase I think because I have a simp rep of the instance open. However when I call ProMdlErase on the ProPart simp rep handle it crashes Pro. Can someone give me some advice on activating/retrieving a simp rep of an instance of a part and then erasing it? Here is my code to output the ACIS file. I am not trying to erase the instance in the function. I try and erase the instance in the calling function.

Hi Patrick,
You have to check whether instance is open before you call ProFaminstanceErase. You can use corresponding Mdl handle to ProMdlWindowGet to check that.

I have related problem, where I could not get separate ProMdl handle for different simpreps of an assembly. I'm trying ProAssemblySimprepRetrieve(), but it always return same assembly handle.
PTK_CALL(err = ProAssemblySimprepRetrieve(asmname,simpname,NULL,model));
Here, I' giving different simpname,but the same model(ProAssembly) is returned.

Can you help on this?

There is a definite bug with this functionality. There will be an SPR filed for it but I don't know the number as of yet.

Hi Patrick,
When you say Bug, is it in ProAssemblySimprepRetrieve or ProFaminstanceErase. We are using ProFaminstanceErase and it does not crash. We make a check to see if it is not displayed in a window. Only models not present in a window can be erased from memory using ProMdlErase or ProFaminstanceErase.

ProAssemblySimprepRetrieve() only operates on assemblies only, not on parts.
