Model Pattern vs Drafting Pattern

dgoff96 — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 00:23:59 GMT

I am working on a tool that collects all of the patterns in a file. I am wondering how to access the parameter that tells you if the pattern is a model pattern or a drafting pattern? I have tried

patternElement.GetType()

but all that tells me is that it's a FillPatternElement. Nothing in the API docs is jumping out as an obvious answer here.

Any ideas on how to get this information?

Thanks!

Hi @dgoff96 ,

try using the below code

FillPatternElement FPE;
FillPattern FP = FPE.GetFillPattern();
FillPatternTarget FPT = FP.Target;

FillPatterenTarget returns the type of fill pattern.

If this helped solve your problem please mark it as a solution, so other users can get this solution as well😊
