iLogic code to check if part feature is supressed from drawing

[J_Dumont]

Hello,

I have iLogic code to create the necessary dimensions in my drawing views. However, I need to determine if a feature is suppressed and, if so, skip creating dimensions.

I captured the model name as shown below.

ActiveSheet = ThisDrawing.Sheet("UPPER SM PAN:18")
Dim modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)

I want to check the file to see if certain features are suppressed.

Hi @J_Dumont 

You will need to use the inventor API for this. From the model document you will need to declare as a partcomponentdefinition, then traverse PartFeatures

PartComponentDefinition.Features()

As PartFeatures

Then check each Partfeature for being suppressed

PartFeature.Suppressed() As Boolean

Here is a sample.

Dim partDoc as PartDocument = ThisDrawing.ModelDocument
Dim partDef as PartComponentDefinition = partDoc.ComponentDefinition
For each feat as PartFeature in partDef.Features
     If feat.Name = "xyz" AndAlso feat.Suppressed = True Then
           'DO SOMETHING
     End If 
Next

Hi @A.Acheson 

Thanks for the help.

I was able to get what I needed using the code shown below.

Dim Sheet_18 = ThisDrawing.Sheets.ItemByName("UPPER SM PAN:18")
Dim FrontView = Sheet_18.DrawingViews.ItemByName("FrontView")
Dim modelDoc = FrontView.ModelDocument
Dim modelObjects = StandardObjectFactory.Create(modelDoc)
If modelObjects.Feature.IsActive(modelDoc, "Notch Cut Out")
	AddNotchForAnchor = True
	Else
	AddNotchForAnchor = False
End If
