Apprentice Server and SheetMetalStyle

[tommam]

I'm wondering if it's possible to access the ActiveSheetMetalStyle using Apprentice?

I have the following code, but it crashes on the last line, saying "Not Implemented":

Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent apprentice = new Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent();

Inventor.ApprenticeServerDocument invDoc = apprentice.Open(filename);

Inventor.SheetMetalComponentDefinition smComp = invDoc.ComponentDefinition as Inventor.SheetMetalComponentDefinition;

Inventor.SheetMetalStyle smStyle = smComp.ActiveSheetMetalStyle;

If I can't do this through Apprentice Server, is there another way to get the sheet metal style?  Maybe through the properties?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tommam,

In that case, it means that unfortunately this functionality is not yet implmented in Apprentice. As you may know Apprentice implements a subset of the whole Inventor API. Though it is growing the coverage is still not equivalent to the Inventor functionalities.

The sheetmetal style is an internal property of the document, it is therefore not accessible through iProperties, unles you run some logic in Inventor using the API in order to write yourself the style information you need either in the iProperties or attributes of your document. In that case you will be able to retrieve the information with Apprentice API.

I hope it helps.
