C# Inventor api HoleFeature Problem

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

Here is my c#code

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Inventor.Application application = (Inventor.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Inventor.Application");
PartDocument prt = (PartDocument)application.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject, application.FileManager.GetTemplateFile(DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject), true);
prt.UnitsOfMeasure.LengthUnits = UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits;
PartComponentDefinition cdef = prt.ComponentDefinition;
PlanarSketch sktch = cdef.Sketches.Add(cdef.WorkPlanes["XY Plane"], true);
TransientGeometry transgeo = application.TransientGeometry;
SketchLine pipe = sktch.SketchLines.AddByTwoPoints(transgeo.CreatePoint2d(0, 0), transgeo.CreatePoint2d(0, 10));
pipe.Centerline = true;

SketchEntitiesEnumerator rectanglelines = sktch.SketchLines.AddAsTwoPointRectangle(transgeo.CreatePoint2d(2, 0), transgeo.CreatePoint2d(5, 3));

Profile profile2 = sktch.Profiles.AddForSolid();
RevolveFeature revolve = cdef.Features.RevolveFeatures.AddFull(profile2, pipe, PartFeatureOperationEnum.kJoinOperation);
SurfaceBodies bodies = revolve.SurfaceBodies;
WorkPlane wp = cdef.WorkPlanes.AddByPlaneAndOffset(bodies[1].Faces[2], 0);
PlanarSketch sktch2 = cdef.Sketches.Add(wp, true);
SketchPoint point = sktch2.SketchPoints.Add(transgeo.CreatePoint2d(0, 2.5));
sktch2.Shared = true;
wp.Shared = true;

HoleFeature hf = cdef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(point,0.1, PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum.kPositiveExtentDirection);

}

i always get "HRESULT: 0x80004005 "

i think i'm doing exactly same in the İnventors' Hole Exapmles;

Thank You for your help.

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

Programming questions for Inventor need to be asked in the Inventor Customization Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/bd-p/120.   I will have you posting relocated there to better suit your needs.

Hi @Anonymous,

Comparing your code to the API help page here the only difference I can see is that the sample has the diameter enclosed like this "1cm" whereas yours is just 0.1 without speech marks.

So your code would go from this:

HoleFeature hf = cdef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(point,0.1, PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum.kPositiveExtentDirection);

to this:

HoleFeature hf = cdef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(point, "0.1", PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum.kPositiveExtentDirection);

 let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Alex

Thak you for your reply. 

your solution is not correct. 

i found the solution 

1-Create workpoint on the sketchpoint

2-add workpoint in to the objectcollection

3-create PointHolePlacementDefiniton

4-Object Point =ObjectCollection[1]

5-Use PointHolePlacementDefinition for create hole 

Here is my codes

                PlanarSketch sktch2 = cdef.Sketches.Add(wp, true);
                SketchPoint point = sktch2.SketchPoints.Add(transgeo.CreatePoint2d(0, 3));
                WorkPoint wp1 = cdef.WorkPoints.AddByPoint(point);
                ObjectCollection holecenter = application.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection();
                PointHolePlacementDefinition phpd = cdef.Features.HoleFeatures.CreatePointPlacementDefinition(holecenter[1], cdef.WorkAxes[2]);
                HoleFeature hf = cdef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(phpd,1, PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum.kPositiveExtentDirection);

it works for me .

glad you found the solution.

Of course it needed a holedefinition in order to work.

I find it interesting that (in the help) you can use a collection of sketchpoints, but your example using one sketchpoint is insufficient.
