How to pass the transformation matrix to imported component inside part environment using c#

[sneha.sadaphal]

Hi,

I am loading the step file as a imported component in part environment by using c# API 

But I want to rotate the part from Y up to Z up direction (Mentioned in attached images)

Can anybody have the solution for this?

here is the code snap for above 

 PartDocument pDoc = _pDoc as PartDocument;
                PartComponentDefinition oPartCompDef = pDoc.ComponentDefinition;
                ImportedGenericComponentDefinition impPart = (ImportedGenericComponentDefinition)oPartCompDef.ReferenceComponents.ImportedComponents.CreateDefinition(stepdownload);
                impPart.ReferenceModel = true;
                impPart.IncludeAll();

                oPartCompDef.ReferenceComponents.ImportedComponents.Add((ImportedComponentDefinition)impPart);

You can use MoveFeature after import or add this imported component to the assembly with appropriate orientation.

Dim part As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document

Dim bodies As ObjectCollection = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection(part.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies)
Dim moveDef As MoveDefinition = part.ComponentDefinition.Features.MoveFeatures.CreateMoveDefinition(bodies)
Dim rotation = moveDef.AddRotateAboutAxis(part.ComponentDefinition.WorkAxes(1), True, Math.PI / 2)

part.ComponentDefinition.Features.MoveFeatures.Add(moveDef)

Is there only this way to do in part environment?
because it will add one move feature in tree structure and also might be origin also will get change.

If you don't want to modify the part, you can just re-orient the ViewCube and default views Top, default Isometric, etc.
