MwPDMApi Namespace > DataEntrHelper Class > DataEntrHelper Methods

Retrieves the UID of the Part or Assembly linked to the current drawing, based on the active save context. This method checks if the drawing is being processed in a Save As–related context (e.g., SAVE_AS, GET_FILENAME_BEFORE_SAVEAS, or SAVE_AS_LINKED_DRAWING). It then verifies the saved configuration and attempts to resolve the UID of the associated component.
