Assembly features through API!

Does Inventor API support the assemby features (like extrude, hole, fillet or chamfer)?

Extrude and Hole, for sure. We can't do it in Intent/ETO without Inventor API support. The best way to know what the Inventor API supports in your version is to look at the programming help (API documentation).

Features Interface.

 

Summary:

Represents the collection of features in the assembly context. The API does not yet support addition of assembly features.

 

What do you think about that?

Or, maybe, I don't know something.

The text for that object is incorrect and needs to be updated.  The API does support the creation of assembly features.  It's the same as creating features in a part except the entities you provide as input will need to be in the context of the assembly, which means they'll need to be proxies.  Do you have a specific example of what you would like to do?

ETO has built-in designs for Assembly extrude and hole.  I haven't used them myself in a long time.  There was a report here in the forum that extrude, at least, did not work in ETO 2012, but works OK in ETO 2013.

Thanks for the fast response. I know that these features are built-in. But sometimes I need to expand the some functionality for particular features.

 

Thanks one more time.
