Change sheet metal rule in sheet metal defaults using API

[nishantkumat5921]

Hello,

I am trying to change the sheet metal rules mentioned in sheet metal defaults but could find any API codes in the forums so reaching out for help. For example I want to change it from "14 GUAGE C.R.S" to "14 GUAGE 304S.S ". I do not want help in illogic's but need help in API.

Thanks in advance. Attaching a image below for clarification on what I want to change.

Dim a As Inventor.PartDocument = ThisDoc.ModelDocument

Dim c As Inventor.SheetMetalComponentDefinition = a.ComponentDefinition


c.SheetMetalStyles.Item("14 GUAGE 304S.S").Activate

Hi,

You can use :

Dim oSheetMetal As SheetMetalComponentDefinition = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
oSheetMetal.SheetMetalStyles.Item("Par Défaut").Activate

In your case :

Dim oSheetMetal As SheetMetalComponentDefinition = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
oSheetMetal.SheetMetalStyles.Item("14 GUAGE 304S.S").Activate

Regards,

FINET L.
