Publications are very important for complex models. Hence we want to show you simple CATIA macro for them. The publication part is very important. First of all when you make complex macros. So it’s very important to know how to make it. Also, you can read more about problems with CATIA publication on this forum post. We took just one code from this post. Because of similarity with this CATIA macro publication.

Add-on for VB code is making an error it converts “&” to “&”

Public Sub CreatePublications(ByVal pubProduct As Product, _
ByVal pubCollection As Collection)
Dim pubRef As Reference
Dim thePublications As Publications
Dim thePublication As Publication
Dim i As Integer
Dim pubObject As Object

For i = 1 To pubCollection.Count
Set pubObject = pubCollection.Item(i)
Set pubRef = pubProduct.CreateReferenceFromName(pubProduct.Name &amp; "/!" &amp; pubObject.Name)
Set thePublications = pubProduct.Publications
Set thePublication = thePublications.Add(pubObject.Name)
thePublications.SetDirect pubObject.Name, pubRef
pubProduct.Update
Next i
End Sub

This free CATIA macro has two buttons and one list of items. So if you want a similar app or code you will need also multiple selections. You use it when you select bodies. So then that goes to the list. Even more, when you run the macro it will publish any element from this list. In this case, it’s more like two separated macros connected with this list. So we just use options inside VB. For CATScript you must use one macro. Also, you must use array to make this happen.

This is code for multiple selection pallet.

You can download it for free and use it.
