Inventor 2018 API missing HealthStatus for iMates?

[Yadow]

Greetings fellow Inventor Users,

As I work frequently with iMates in Inventor 2018 I have found that there is no support in the API for getting the "healthstatus" of an iMate. Is this true?

I would like to delete imates that are no longer attached to a plane or has the referenced plane missing.

Best regards,

Hi @Yadow 

I'm not really sure I understand what you mean as i'm not very used to working with iMates, but something like this maybe? 🙂

Dim oAsm As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
For Each oImate As iMateResult In oAsm.ComponentDefinition.iMateResults
	For Each oConstraint As AssemblyConstraint In oImate.Constraints
		'MsgBox([Enum].GetName(GetType(Inventor.HealthStatusEnum), oConstraint.HealthStatus))
		If oConstraint.HealthStatus <> HealthStatusEnum.kUpToDateHealth Then oImate.Delete
		Exit For
	Next
Next

This did indeed help me with some of the issue. But the issue where an imate is missing a reference plane is still not solved 🙂 You have my thanks nonetheless!

Glad I could help a little at least 🙂

To be honest I don't really know what it means that the iMate is missing a reference plane. Maybe if you attach a file here where that is the case I might be able to find a solution for it?
