Check listed features in treeview using API (Tree Traversing)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a Planes (Front Plane ,Right Plane, Top Plane) and list of features (like Revolve1, Fillet1, Chamfer1 etc) in tree view (marked in red circle).

I need to check the those listed feature name and plane name in the treeview before creating the new plane and features.

How do I check those listed planes and features  using Inventor API?

Regards,

Not really sure what you mean by "Checking".

Also it looks like upon the creation of this part, three work planes were added. Why not use the "Work Planes" that reside within the "Origin" Folder just above these created work planes along with the grounded Work Point at 0,0,0.

Thank you for your quick reply.

And Sorry Blair for the confusion.

What I need to do is How do I select work features by its name using Inventor API?

This should help, it's listed for IV2017 but it's the same as IV2016 and IV2015.

Hi,

Thank you everyone but this is how I solved it by myself.

Code:

Entity swEnt = default(Entity);

swEnt = (Entity)vEntity;
SolidWorks.Interop.sldworks.PartDoc swPart = swApp.ActiveDoc;
string getPlaneName = swPart.GetEntityName(swEnt);

oWorkPlane = objInventorOperation.oCompDef.WorkPlanes[getPlaneName]; //This is for WorkPlane for Feature use WorkFeatures instead of WorkPlanes

objInventorOperation.oPartDoc.SelectSet.Select(oWorkPlane);                       // check whether it select the workplane that u want to
