Thread direction of holes in iLogic

[fabian.vorpeil]

Dear all,

I use the following code to get the information if a thread is right or left handed from an outer thread:

'Gewinderichtung Gewinde1
If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = True Then
Gewinde1_Richtung = "RH"
'Else If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = False  Then
'Gewinde1_Richtung = "LH"
'Else
End If

Now I also need to get this information from a hole feature but I was not able to adapt the code correctly. The error I get says that "HoleInfo" for the type "HoleFeature" was not found.

Can anyone help?

Best regards and have a nice weekend

From what i could find in the API help, you might have to look into the "HoleTapInfo" object.

I'm not that good with this stuff so i hope this helps...

Neils is correct. Tapped holes have a HoleTapInfo object, non-tapped holes have a HoleInfo object.

Thanks a lot guys, here's what I now use to get the thread direction:

'Gewinderichtung Gewinde1
If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").TapInfo.RightHanded = True Then
Gewinde1_Richtung = "RH"
Else If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").TapInfo.RightHanded = False  Then
Gewinde1_Richtung = "LH"
Else
End If

 Have a nice weekend
