I'm trying to edit CoilFeature. I have done this operation with ExtrudeFeature. It works correctly:
// getting existing sketch
PlanarSketch oSketch = oDef.Sketches["tooth_profile"];
/*
* customizing sketch...
*/
// creating profile
Profile ToothProf = oSketch.Profiles._AddForSolid();
// modifying extrude feature
ToothSolid = oDef.Features.ExtrudeFeatures["Cylindr_extrusion"];
ToothSolid.Profile = ToothProf;


Now I'm trying to perform the same with CoilFeture, but Profile property is read-only. I really need to modify the profile and existing CoilFeature. Please help me if you can.

Thanks for your reply!

What release are you on? The ability to edit coil features thru the API was
added in Inventor 2008. It will not be possible to edit the profile in
previous releases.
