Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: "Delete or Keep the bound properties" pop-up when running script

« on: September 04, 2019, 11:31:20 pm »

I have never seen such a popup.
Could it be that you are deleting elements who have embedded elements?
In that case you might want to delete those first.

I try deleting connectors, embedded elements and constraints before the element and get the pop-ups during connector deletion all the time.

Ah, is it during a connector delete, or an element delete.

I think the bound properties are those things you set to link your association to an attribute.
I've never used those.
I would check if any of the collection on the connector (such as CustomProperties) has elements and make sure to delete these before deleting the connector.

PS. You should also report a bug. An API is not supposed to show message boxes when deleting stuff.

Ok so I tried deleting CustomProperties, but I get an Internal Application error.
I tried deleting all other collections as well, but it didn't help.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / "Delete or Keep the bound properties" pop-up when running script

« on: September 04, 2019, 08:37:42 pm »

Hello,

I wrote a script, which has quite some long running time and does sometime need to delete out dated elements.
Sometimes when I use the Delete(short index) method on a element object, I get a "Delete or Keep the bound properties" pop-up in the background, which causes my script to pause until someone closes that window. This is quite bothersome.
I already tried deleting all connectors of the element in question first, but that didn't solve the problem.
Anyone have a workaround this?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Setting CustomProperty "isReference" according to Aggregation Type properly

« on: January 24, 2017, 03:16:51 am »

Hello,

In my code I'm creating Elements with parts, which are connected by Aggregation, both type 1 and 2. However when creating a Diagram I had to notice that my parts are all displayed as "properties".
Is there a way to create my Part objects correctly, so they are displayed as "references" when Aggregation type is share in my code? I tried setting the CustomProperty value of "isReference", but it did not update when I checked in the GUI.

Thank you in advance.
