Slice Graphics and Look At programatically

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

When I manuall create a sketch in Inventor, I have it configured to automatically "look at" (set the camera perpendicular to it) and I can also use F7 to turn on and off the "Slice Graphcs" option.

Now, I'm creating a skecth from a VBA macro, and I'd like to be able to invoke the "look at" and "Slice Graphics" comands.

I have not been able to find any documentation regarding these 2 comands. Any help would be much appreciated.

You could use the following to look at the sketch

Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument
Dim oSketch As PlanarSketch

oPartDoc.SelectSet.Select oSketch

Dim oControlDef As ControlDefinition
Set oControlDef = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppLookAtCmd") 'Look at the sketch

oControlDef.Execute

DoEvents

I would guess "SketchSliceGraphicsCmd" for slicing the graphics although I have not tried this.

Good luck
