Inventor API Scale feature

[p_krola]

I would like to use "DirectEditScaleOperation". while "DirectEdit Features" has no methods.

What's the problem?

The "DirectEditFeatures" is a list of DirectEditFeature objects. If you want to manipulate an object then you first need to get the correct one from the list.

Dim doc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim def As PartComponentDefinition = doc.ComponentDefinition

' Get the object of the first "DirectEditFeature"
Dim feature As DirectEditFeature = def.Features.DirectEditFeatures.Item(1)

Dim firstOperation As DirectEditOperation = feature.DirectEditOperations.Item(1)
Dim operationTypeName = CType(firstOperation.DirectEditOperationType, DirectEditOperationTypeEnum).ToString()

MsgBox(operationTypeName)

Dim directEditScaleOperation As DirectEditScaleOperation = firstOperation
MsgBox(directEditScaleOperation.Name)

I have no idea how to solve this problem. Can anyone tell me what the syntax should look like in c#?

Unfortunately, the Direct Edit feature is not fully supported by the API. It has minimal support, which means you can access existing features of that type and they support general feature operations, like reorder, delete, rename, etc. However, you can't create new features of that type and you can't query or edit the information that is specific to that feature type.
