I want to select desired line with Inventor api.

[hayattangercekler2]

Using Inventor API, I create lines by opening a sketch in the inverter and giving the specified points. I am opening this sketch in an assembly file. In this assembly file, I want to do the line selection event, which I manually made over the sketch in the ipt file, using the inventor api. Is it possible to do this with api or with ilogic?

Hi there,

You need to use SelectEvent and PreSelectEvent events. They are inside of SelectEvents. By using them, You can filter which type of objects will highlighted or not. And you can create your own filters. You have to create a filter for SketchLines.

As you see there is a parameter named DoHighlight. You can add event to your code (VB.net, c#, VBA all of them have this feature) and you can do some filter like this.

If PreSelectEntity Is Not SketchLine
     DoHighlight = True
Else
     DoHighlight = Fasle
End If

and then you can use OnSelect event to get object that selected.

JustSelectedEntities returns the object(s) that you selected. 

In SelectEvents object there is a property named 'SingleSelectEnabled'. If you make it True, it will allow user to select only one object.

Here is the Select event object.

The follwing rule, select the second line in the selected sketch (select a sketch before running the rule!)

To select the desired instead the second one you have to define some criteria (e.g. SketchLine.Lenght or define an attribute in SketchLine.AttributeSets)

Dim doc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim selset As SelectSet
selset = doc.SelectSet

Dim sketch As Sketch = selset.Item(1)

' Open the sketch for edit.
' This is only required for drawing sketches, not part.
'sketch.Edit

Dim sl As SketchLine = sketch.SketchLines.Item(2)
selset.Clear
selset.Select(sl)
