Inventor Api Direct edit features

[kurzwil40]

When will full access to direct edit be added to the Inventor api? Namely creation of direct edit features and editing of direct features, just like extrudes, holes, etc.

Direct Edit is a combination of other features like MoveFace and Move.  You should be able to do what you need with those features.  Is there something you are missing?

I was looking for direct edit in the api or rotate face and I did not see access to creating those, so I did not think that move face was part of the api either. Is rotate face somewhere in there and I am just missing it?

I also did not see the move.addRotateAboutAxis argument in the move feature. It looks like that is the rotate face option. I should have looked into deeply.

You can also use SetFreeMoveType and specify the transformation matrix.
