Chamfer from InnerEdgeLoop API VB.NET

Hi,

API VB.NET Visual Studio

I try to Select a Face with a Slot, Take the Inside EdgeLoop, and Create a Chamfer on this Slot:

This is the Goal

This is my Code:

    Dim oFaceSlot As Face = g_inventorApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kPartFaceFilter, "Pick a Face")
        Dim oEdgeloop As EdgeLoop
        Dim oEdge As Edge
        Dim oEdgeColl As EdgeCollection = oTO.CreateEdgeCollection


        For Each oEdgeloop In oFaceSlot.EdgeLoops
            If oEdgeloop.IsOuterEdgeLoop = False Then

                For Each oEdge In oEdgeloop.Edges
                    oEdgeColl.Add(oEdge)

                Next



            End If
        Next


        Dim oChamfer As ChamferFeature
        oChamfer = oPart_C_Def.Features.ChamferFeatures.AddUsingDistance(oEdgeColl, 0.5, True)

Error:

Unknow Error

It Works with Fillet

But i Need a Chamfer.

Thanks for Suggestion

The code looks fine and it works for me. May be the chamfer size (0.5) is too big for your test case. Dimension units in API is always in centimeters.

Hi @Michael.Navara 

Still unknow Error:

i also was trying with 0.1 or 0.05  or "0.1"

Stil Error.

Should i Use a Chamfer Definition?

But dont know exactly what to use it?

This is my test case with local iLogic rule

Hi @Michael.Navara ,

I check your iLogic Rules, and it work also with Curved Face.

is this Possible that i got Error, because in my Example the Face is not Planar.

This is a Curved Face, do this matter?

Maybe this is the Problem with API?

Is Stange, because the FilletFeature Works Fine.

I only Think, that the Feature still need some Ddefinitions?

Can you post your test data, where my code doesn't work?

Hi,

Your iLogic Code is Working, also with Curved Face.

What you mean test data?
