Can ilogic check if my part is a multi-body part?

[b_ruijter]

Hello,

We use a rule that makes flat-pattens if a part is a sheet metal part. But a multi-body part can not make flat patterns. I was wondering if i can let the rule check if the part is an multi-body part first?

I will have the moderator relocate your posting there.

Not sure if there is a better way

oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
oCount = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies.Count 
If oCount > 1
	MessageBox.Show("Multi-Body", "Hey look")
End If

Here's a slighly different and equally simple way.

Dim oPDoc As PartDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oPDef As PartComponentDefinition = oPDoc.ComponentDefinition
MsgBox("HasMultipleSolidBodies = " & oPDef.HasMultipleSolidBodies.ToString)
