Hi
an iPart member is like a derived part: it doesn't contain features directly but references the geometry created in the iPart factory. You would need to modify the factory if you want to see changes impacted in its members. I'm not sure what you mean by "blank" edges...
Regards,

So you can either hide the curves in the drawing, as you do from the UI, or as I mentioned if you want to suppress features at the iPart level, you need to operate on the iPart factory.
You can retrieve all drawing curves representing a model entity using DrawingView.DrawingCurves( [ModelObject] As Variant ), but in case of a derived part or iPart member, I'm not sure passing the factory feature will return the curves of the drawing representing the member, you can give a try.
I hope it helps,
Philippe.
