Inventor select face to add constraint

[FINET_Laurent]

Hi everyone,

I was hoping this whould be an easy task but here is the issue :

From an assembly, I want to add a constraint using the pick command like so :

Dim oFace As Face = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartFaceFilter, "hey")
Constraints.AddMate("Mate1","Door plate 2:2","Face1",Nothing,oFace)

Turns out it doesn't work, and I can't seem to find the way from oFace to the actual part face..

I have found a work around, but I'm still wondering :

Is it even possible ?

Regards,

Never mind, found the solution using this command instead :

Dim oFace1 As Face = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartFaceFilter, "Pick Face 1")
Dim oFace2 As Face = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartFaceFilter, "Pick Face 2")
Dim oMateConst As MateConstraint = oAssCompDef.Constraints.AddMateConstraint(oFace1,oFace2,0)

 Still interester in your opinion,
