Catia Visual Basic Macro - change external reference link
I'm wondering if there is any solution for my problem:
In CatiaV5, is it possible to change the external reference link using an Visual Basic (catvba or catscript) macro? For every CatPart or CatProduct we have an external link to reference like in the picture below:
Thank you very much!
Solution
The Link to Reference cannot be altered by API (VBA/CATscript). It is a read-only attribute which shows:
- the full path of the save location if data is stored filebased:
"C:\TEMP\part1.CATPart" example with filebased
- some ID or name attribute if data is stored on a database system (like enovia VPM)

However, the Link to Reference will change if you save the part/product to a new location with save as - as also stated here.
