Check Missing Files

Check Missing Files

File: Product_Document_Scripts/Check_Missing_Files.py
Version: 1.1
Document Type: Product

---

Description

Recursively traverses the active CATProduct assembly tree and checks whether the file referenced by each component instance actually exists on disk. Results are shown in a wx dialog. If missing or unresolved references are found, a CSV is also saved next to the CATProduct.

---

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
wxPython	Required
Open document	Product

---

Usage

1. Open a CATProduct in CATIA
2. Run the script
3. If all references are resolved, a confirmation dialog appears
4. If issues are found, a results dialog lists the problem components and a CSV is saved

---

Dialog Output

When issues are found, a scrollable results dialog shows a table of MISSING and UNRESOLVED components, along with a summary line and the CSV save path. When all references are OK, a simple confirmation message is shown instead.

Checked 12 reference(s):  10 OK  |  1 Missing  |  1 Unresolved
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Instance                       Status       File
  ------------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------------
  Bracket_L                      MISSING      D:\Parts\Bracket_L.CATPart
  Seal_Ring                      UNRESOLVED   Seal_Ring.CATPart

CSV saved to: D:\Assembly\Assembly_MissingFiles.csv

Status Definitions

Status	Meaning
OK	File path is known and the file exists on disk
MISSING	Full path is available but the file does not exist at that location
UNRESOLVED	Only the file name (no path) is available; existence cannot be checked

---

Output (when problems found)

CSV file: <ProductName>_MissingFiles.csv

Column	Content
Assembly Path	Full path through the assembly tree
Instance Name	Component instance name
File Reference	Last known file path or name
Status	MISSING or UNRESOLVED

---

Notes

• OK components are not written to the CSV — only MISSING and UNRESOLVED entries
• If all references are resolved, no CSV is created and a confirmation dialog is shown
• UNRESOLVED typically means the product was opened without resolving all links, or the component was never saved
