Embossing - API

So I've researched this a great amount but have not found a way to do this and I know its possible.

Normally the way to engrave text is through a way like this:

 

 

Dim oExtrudeDef As ExtrudeDefinition
oExtrudeDef = oComponentDefinition.Features.ExtrudeFeatures.CreateExtrudeDefinition(oProfile, Inventor.PartFeatureOperationEnum.kCutOperation)
Call oExtrudeDef.SetDistanceExtent(0.02, Inventor.PartFeatureExtentDirectionEnum.kNegativeExtentDirection)

Dim oExtrude As ExtendFeature
oExtrude = oComponentDefinition.Features.ExtrudeFeatures.Add(oExtrudeDef)

 

The problem is that it creates an extrustion instead of an embossment.

Any and all help is very appreciated! Thank you

PS: I know vb.net and c# so either language is fine!

You'll want to have a look at the EmbossFeatures Object instead.
