Dim defaultassemblyid As String = "MyProject-01"

' WaveLink Feature - True or False
Dim wavelinkfeature As Boolean = True

' Smart Sorting - This feature sorts the selected bodies by their material name in descending order. It first considers the initial numerical value found in the material name before the unit (for example, the "12" in "12mm Plywood"). If no numerical value is present, sorting is done alphabetically. Should multiple bodies share the same material, they are then sorted by weight in descending order.
' You'll receive feedback on Material name and weight, so you understand the order presented.
' If it False, it will preserve the order in which you initially clicked on the bodies for selection. - "True", "False" or "Maybe"
Dim smartsortingfeatureQST As String = "Maybe"

' This setting is particularly useful when utilizing the smart sorting feature, as it helps break down material names into segments for efficient sorting and organization. For instance, a material named '12mm Plywood' would be divided at 'mm', allowing the code to sort solids effectively.
' You can adjust settings for "mm" (Millimeter) and "in" (Inch) to whatever you use to describe your materials based on your preferred unit system. Let's say, you are naming your solid bodies like "3/4 Inch Plywood" - then you would change 'ssunitin' to "Inch".
' The journal handles whole or decimal numbers (e.g., "12", "12.5") and fractions specifically for inches (e.g., "1/2"). It automatically adjusts these values by multiplying them by 25.4 to ensure consistency in sorting, allowing you to safely use any of these variants within the same workflow.
Dim ssunitmm As String = "mm"
Dim ssunitin As String = "in"

' Sorting logic use EasyWeight (True) or NX Built-in Material (False) attributes. - True or False
Dim EasyWeightsortinglogic As Boolean = False

' Default Solid Body Name - Assigns a name to any solid body that lacks one, ensuring all bodies are identifiable.
' You can set these names under Reference Sets.
' If you can't see this folder, click on a empty space in Part Navigator / uncheck Timestamp Order OR File / Utilities / Customer Defaults / Gateway / Part Navigator / Display Reference Sets Folder.
Dim defaultsolidbodyname As String = "PANEL"

' Flag Created Components - To prevent duplicating efforts, this option tags processed solid bodies with a 'Component created' attribute. It's an efficient way to track which bodies have already been processed.
' If you want to override this later, simply delete the value of this attribute in Solid body / Properties. - True or False
Dim setcomponentflag As Boolean = False

' Teamcenter Integration Settings - Determines whether the journal operates locally "False" or integrates with Teamcenter. Selecting "Maybe" prompts a question at the start to finalize this setting, tailoring the journal to your specific workflow needs. - "True", "False" or "Maybe".
' If you are using this locally, you will be prompted at the beginning to specify where you want to save your files. If you leave it empty and hit enter, it will use the specified default directory (lldefaultdirectoryPath).
Dim teamcenterIntegrationQST As String = "False"

' Control Numbering Gaps - Only for Local - This feature enables intelligent handling of component numbering. For instance, if you initially create components numbered 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105, but later delete 101 and 103, activating this option will prioritize filling these gaps with new components before proceeding to increment the numbers. It's an efficient method to maintain a continuous sequence and optimize the utilization of available numbers.
' Remember, when removing components, it's important not only to remove them from the assembly but also to close them using File / Close / Selected Parts. This ensures they are removed from memory as well.
' Additionally, if you are working locally and have saved these parts, you should also delete them from the file system to avoid clutter. - True or False
Dim fillTheGap As Boolean = True

' IMPORTANT! Record a Journal first in - Visual Basic (*.vb) - by Developer / Record with Assemblies / New Component. Complete the entire process of creating a new component, then stop the recording. In your saved file, you'll find the following variants (note that prefixes such as 'tc', 'll', and 'wl' won't be included) - the matching words are highlighted:
' partOperationCreateBuilder1.DEFAULTDESTINATIONFOLDER, fileNew1.TEMPLATEFILENAME, fileNew1.UNITS, fileNew1.RELATIONTYPE, fileNew1.TEMPLATEPRESENTATIONNAME and fileNew1.ITEMTYPE.
' Copy paste the values.
'
' Explanation and ID numbering for First and Second Rounds:
' The journal is prepared to follow two different logics in Teamcenter. Let me know if you have a specific case:

' Situation One: Non-specific numbering, following system sequence.
' Goal: Invoke a substitute ID usable in the journal.
' Example: If a new component ID is 160379, try creating another with a substitute ID of 16000* (modify the last digit to "*"). If Teamcenter generates the next available number from 160000, we have found what we were looking for.
' Settings:
' Dim defaultassemblyid As String = "16000*" ' Set our base or default assembly ID.
' Dim assemblyidQST As Boolean = False ' Set to False as the ID follows the previous number without query.
' Dim tcwithtworounds as Boolean = False ' The base - 160000 - is already created, so the first round is unnecessary. Only the second round will use the default ID as a wildcard.
' Dim tcfirstround as String = "" ' Not relevant as the first round is skipped.
' Dim tcsecondround as String = "" ' Should be empty since the default ID is set initially.

' Situation Two: Specific assembly numbers are needed, similar to local logic.
' Goal: Invoke a substitute ID usable in the journal.
' Example: After creating and saving "X184-500-101" as the first component, attempt the next one with "X184-500-10*". If TC automatically generates the next number from 101, it's successful.
' Settings:
' Dim defaultassemblyid As String = "MyProject-01" ' Not relevant here since input is always requested.
' Dim assemblyidQST As Boolean = True ' Set to True to always ask for the base specific assembly ID number on each run. Input example: X184-500.
' Dim tcwithtworounds as Boolean = True ' TC requires a base number to be SAVED first (X184-500-101), allowing it to automatically generate subsequent numbers and create follow-up components in the second. (X184-500-102, etc.).
' Dim tcfirstround as String = "-101" ' This is the number appended to the first round.
' Dim tcsecondround as String = "-10*" ' This is the number appended to the second round.
