CoCreate Modeling code examples: List modified parts

This is a trivial variation of MacroDeleteMatchingParts. Instead of checking whether the name of a part in a selection matches a given pattern, we check its modification status; if it has been modified since it was loaded, it will be listed in the output box.

The dialog expects a list of parts as input; if you want to check the modification status of all parts in an assembly, use a "recursive/in assembly" selection.

Unfortunately, this code does not work as expected for parts loaded from the database. Future versions of CoCreate Modeling will probably address this, and I'll update the code below when this happens.

OSDM 2006 fixes the issue described above by adding a new keyword parameter :check-database to sd-inq-obj-contents-modified-p. Here's the new version of the local function list-modified:

    (list-modified (item)
      (when (sd-inq-obj-contents-modified-p item :check-database t)
        (display (format nil "Modified: ~A~%" (sd-inq-obj-pathname item))))))
