I have created a GraphicComponent group in an addin and wish to programmatically to add a PositionSensor from the standard RS SmartComponent Library. How do I do this and paramatise it (ie set length and size)

Hi Simon, try this:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GraphicComponentGroup myGroup = ...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var libPath = Path.Combine(ApiConfiguration.ABBLibraryDirectory, "Components", "LineSensor.rslib");<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var library = GraphicComponentLibrary.Load(libPath, true);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var lineSensor = library.RootComponent.CopyInstance() as SmartComponent;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; myGroup.GraphicComponents.Add(lineSensor);<br>

The CopyInstance() call is needed to create a modifiable copy of the component.

Regards,
Johannes
