Get Informationf of Features and its asscoicated Sketch using API

[Anonymous]

 I have a model with a list of features and sketch in it.

How do I access the information of the features and its associated sketch using API.

For eg.

I want to extract the information of feature of Sketch1 is Boss-Extrude1 and Sketch2 is Cut-Revolve2 and so on.

Is it possible to get this information from the tree view?

For a reference, I have attached the image of my model too.

Hello.  It appears to be possible.

In a part file:

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Sketches will get you the collection of 2D sketches in the part.

Let's say oSketch1 is one of the objects in that collection:

oSketch1.Dependents will get you a collection of objects that includes any features generated from that sketch.  This part is a little tricky because there are probably other objects in that collection--for example, I saw that it included profile objects.  So, you'll have to find a way to loop through the collection and pick out just the dependent features, or maybe filter out anything that isn't a feature.

I hope this is helpful.

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

But I didn't get an idea to use it?

I used your solution in this way:

foreach (PlanarSketch oSketch in oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches)
{
        MessageBox.Show(oSketch.Name);  //its gives the sketch name as Sketch1, but how to get the feature name as Boss-Extrude 1, linked with  Sketch1
         ObjectCollection aa = default(ObjectCollection);
        aa = oSketch.Dependents;

}

The variable aa gives the number of object i.e. count = 2.

but how do I know the  the information of feature, its name from this soltuion?

I might be wrong using the code, so please suggest me

Regard,

Hello Whetten,

Thank you very much.

I did it using the BrowseNode function.

Thank you in advance. 🙂
