ilogic to flip the Rectangular Pattern as PartFeature

[mallorn]

hello,

How to flip the Rectangular Pattern set as a PartFeature?

Dim oDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oCompDef As PartComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oOccPat As PartFeature  = oCompDef.Features.Item("Rectangular Pattern1")

try this:

Dim oDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oCompDef As PartComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oRectangularPatternFeature As RectangularPatternFeature = oCompDef.Features.RectangularPatternFeatures.Item("Rectangular Pattern1")

'you can get the first item in the pattern like this
Dim oOccPat = oRectangularPatternFeature.Definition.ParentFeatures.Item(1)

Hi @mallorn ,

If you're asking about flipping the direction of the pattern, you can find and example here:

Also just as a reminder, you can search and ask programming questions of this type on the Inventor Customization forum :

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

@mallorn Here's also a simple iLogic example of this

Dim oDoc As PartDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oDef As PartComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oRectPattFeat As RectangularPatternFeature = oDef.Features.RectangularPatternFeatures.Item("Rectangular Pattern1")
If oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalXDirection = True Then
	oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalXDirection = False
ElseIf oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalXDirection = False Then
	oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalXDirection = True
End If
If oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalYDirection = True Then
	oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalYDirection = False
ElseIf oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalYDirection = False Then
	oRectPattFeat.Definition.NaturalYDirection = True
End If

I hope this helps.
