iLogic - Delete Feature

[Anonymous]

Requesting a code snippet that deletes a named feature(s) from a given part file.

Here's an iLogic and VBA solution 😉

iLogic:

oDoc = ThisDoc.Document
oFeatures = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features
Try 
oFeatures("NameOfYourFeature").Delete 
Catch 
MsgBox("No feature exists with that name")
End Try

VBA: Could be shorter, but like the check on the name.

Public Sub RemoveFeature()
    Dim oDoc As Document
    Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    Dim oFeature As PartFeature
    Dim oFeatures As PartFeatures
    Set oFeatures = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features
    For Each oFeature In oFeatures
        If oFeature.Name = "NameOfYourFeature" Then
            oFeature.Delete
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Accepting as a solution in the case someone searches this forum for the same topic.
