Get pattern from feature

[DWhiteley]

In the API, I have selected a feature. How do I find if it is in a pattern and get access to that pattern in order to access the other entities in that pattern?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

The way I typically answer tricky questions like this myself is as follows:

1. Write code to that lets you select something

2. Put a break-point in after the selection

3. Inside the debug environment, you can then inspect everything about the object you have selected using their excellent IDE.

In your case, I'd select 2 things - one from a pattern, one not - then compare them looking for the difference.

Here's an example 'patyes' is a point from a pattern, 'patno' is not.

You'd have to expand all the tabs to find where they differ, and possibly call methods etc to walk the tree..

Many thanks for your assistance. I’m programming in C++ and debug doesn’t seem to give me the info I need. I assume I need to go over to Python to get better feedback?
