Direct Edit and API

[DavidTruyens]

Dear all,

I would like to use the scale function of direct edit using the API. Now the good news is that I found out that it's possible from 2016. But it's hard to find any documentation on Direct Edit and the API. Does anyone as a small example? 

Thanks a lot in advance,

David

David,
DirectEditFeatures not have Add-method unfortunately.
Maximum you call command programmatically:

Call ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions("PartNGxDirectEditCtxCmd").Execute

Hi Mikazakov,
Thanks for your reaction. Its a pity that that doesn't work. Do you have another idea to do a non-uniform scaling on a body? It may as well be on transient geometry.

Thanks for your reaction!

May be use:

PartFeatures.NonParametricBaseFeatures

but I have not looked in detail

Hi Mikazakov,

I've been trying that, but no option for scaling as far as I can see. But I've found a work around. In the end I just need a box. It would be nice to start with the exising box, but I'll create one from scratch.

Thanks for you suggestions!

David
