    Dim TheDistancesList As Distances
    Set TheDistancesList = TheSPAWorkbench.Distances
Property Inertias() As (Read Only)
Returns the Inertias collection.

WARNING: this method will be DEPRECATED in the next release. It is recommended to use the method GetTechnologicalObject("Inertia") on the product to analyze, to retrieve an Inertia object.

    Set TheSPAWorkbench = CATIA.ActiveDocument.GetWorkbench ( "SPAWorkbench" )
    Dim TheSectionsList As Sections
    Set TheSectionsList = TheSPAWorkbench.Sections

Methods


Func GetMeasurable( iMeasuredItem) As
Returns the Measurable object.

WARNING: this method will only work for Mono-Instantiated parts, It is recommended to use the method GetMeasurableInContext for measuring Multi-Instantiated parts.

Example: 
    This example get the Measurable from the SPAWorkBench.
    
    Dim referenceObject As referenceObject
    Set referenceObject = "GetReference"
    Dim TheSPAWorkbench As Workbench
    Set TheSPAWorkbench = CATIA.ActiveDocument.GetWorkbench ( "SPAWorkbench" )
    Dim TheMeasurable As Measurable
    Set TheMeasurable = TheSPAWorkbench.GetMeasurable(referenceObject)
Func GetMeasurableInContext( iMeasuredItem, iProductInstance) As
Returns the Measurable object with respect to the provided context (ProductInstance).
Example: 
    This example get the Measurable from the SPAWorkBench.
    
    Dim referenceObject As referenceObject
    Set referenceObject = "GetReference"
    Dim ProductInstances As VPMInstance
    Set ProductInstances = "GetProductInstance"
    Dim TheSPAWorkbench As Workbench
    Set TheSPAWorkbench = CATIA.ActiveDocument.GetWorkbench ( "SPAWorkbench" )
    Dim TheMeasurable As Measurable
    Set TheMeasurable = TheSPAWorkbench.GetMeasurableInContext(referenceObject,ProductInstances)
