How to create assembly in unit testing

Internal code of TeklaStructures creates assembly automatically when a part is inserted.
myPart.Insert();
myPart.GetAssembly(); // returns the assembly created by internal code

Originally posted by @CarlosHerrero in #13 (comment)

myPart.Insert();
this is not working for me as i have to do unit testing of my function which takes assembly as input and while unit testing i can not insert functionality

How to create Assembly

I want to create assembly I tried it by 2 ways
1)I have tried to create ArrayList of ModelObjects and then tried to create assembly using Assembly.Add method but its throwing error.

        List<ModelObject> modelObjectsList = new List<ModelObject>();
        Beam beam = new Beam();
        ModelObject modelObject = beam as ModelObject;
        modelObjectsList.Add(modelObject);
        ArrayList arrayListofAssemblables = new ArrayList();
        arrayListofAssemblables.Add(modelObjectsList);
        Assembly assembly = new Assembly();
        assembly.Add(arrayListofAssemblables);

2. Passing model object to IAssemblable and then pass it to .Add method but its still throwing error that 'Assemblable is not valid'

        Beam beam = new Beam();
        ModelObject modelObject = beam as ModelObject;
        Assembly assembly = new Assembly();
        IAssemblable assemblable = modelObject as IAssemblable;
        assembly.Add(assemblable);
   

Example Error inexportXML

I have an exception error in line
Part myPart = myEnum.Current as Part; ERROR
Se omitió la carga de símbolos para el módulo mscorlib.dll optimizado porque está habilitada la opción Sólo mi código.

The compilation is OK
Could you help me

Operation.CopyObject(Part, oldCoordinate, newCoordinate) Successed, but the CoordinateSystem become null after model.CommitChanges();

I use the code below to copy a part form the selected one.
`private void TestCopyObject()
{
Picker Picker = new Picker();
Part Part = Picker.PickObject(Picker.PickObjectEnum.PICK_ONE_PART) as Part;

var oldCoordinate = Part.GetCoordinateSystem();
var solid = Part.GetSolid();
// The old coordinate system uses the model center point of the part as the origin.
oldCoordinate.Origin = new Point((solid.MinimumPoint.X + solid.MaximumPoint.X) / 2, (solid.MinimumPoint.Y + solid.MaximumPoint.Y) / 2, (solid.MinimumPoint.Z + solid.MaximumPoint.Z) / 2);

// Calculate the correct AxisY, making sure it is perpendicular to AxisX
var originalAxisX = oldCoordinate.AxisX;
var originalAxisY = oldCoordinate.AxisY;
var newAxisY = originalAxisX.Cross(originalAxisY);
newAxisY.Normalize(); // To Unit vector
var newCoordinate = new T3D.CoordinateSystem
{
    AxisX = new T3D.Vector(1, 0, 0),
    AxisY = newAxisY
};

Model model = new Model();

var newPart = Operation.CopyObject(Part, oldCoordinate, newCoordinate) as Part;

var newPartCoordinate = newPart.GetCoordinateSystem();
if (newPartCoordinate != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"The newPartCoordinate origin:{newPartCoordinate.Origin}, AxisX:{newPartCoordinate.AxisX},AxisY:{newPartCoordinate.AxisY}");
}


model.CommitChanges();


newPartCoordinate = newPart.GetCoordinateSystem();
if (newPartCoordinate == null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The part coppied, has no CoordinateSystem.");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("The part coppied, has correct CoordinateSystem.");
}

}`

Most of the time it is correct, but sometimes the copied part does not have a coordinate system.
I found that it copied the Part and its children，Does it also copied something else that causes the coordinate system to be abnormal after committing?Why did my copy fail?

I use the 2021 API

Can't create WPF Plugin from scratch

I am able to create a new froms plugin, but I can't get a wpf plugin to build.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new project .Net Framework Class library, .net framewrok 4.7.2
2. Add {60dc8134-eba5-43b8-bcc9-bb4bc16c2548};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC} to csproj to let Visual Studio know this is WPF
3. Add Tekla Open API nuget to csproj
4. Add wpf references to csproj: PresentationCore, PresentationFramework, WindowsBase, System.Xaml
5. Add WPF Window (xaml + xaml.cs)
6. Inherit from PluginWindowBase

When I build I get the following error:
Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Structures' does not exist in the namespace 'My.NameSpace.Tekla' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Do you know what causes this or can you provide a step-by-step guide to creating a WPF plugin?

https://developer.tekla.com/tekla-structures/documentation/tekla-open-api-ui-design-wpf

This guide details the creation of the plugin, but not the project creation, or the needed references
