Application.ExtractPartAtomFromFamilyFile

Method

Description:
Writes a PartAtom XML from the contents of a family file.

Remarks:
If there is a TXT type catalog next to the family file (a TXT file with the same name as the RFA file), the function will read it as well and process its contents into PartAtom. To extract a PartAtom XML from a family loaded into a document in session, use Family.ExtractPartAtom().
