Determine if A-Side Definition exists iLogic

[Rob67ert]

I like to add an A-Side definition if there is none when i save my sheet metal part.

Is there a way te determine if an A-Side already exists with iLogic?

[Rob67ert]

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hello Robert,

with this code (iLogic) you can get the "AsideStatus"

Dim smPart As PartDocument = Thisapplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSMCompdef As Inventor.SheetMetalComponentDefinition = smPart.ComponentDefinition

MsgBox(oSMCompdef.ASideFaceStatus.ToString)

kASideDefault	106241	The A-Side face is determined by Inventor.
kASideSick	106242	The A-Side face is specified but invalid.
kASideUpToDate	106243	The A-Side face is specified and up-to-date.

(this is from the help)

Hi Herm Jan,

I was so close to it, the MsgBox(oSMCompdef.ASideFaceStatus.ToString gave me the correct answer.
Thanks
