material of a part from a drawing

[thomasdietschy]

Hello to all,

I'm looking for a way to store the material of a part from a drawing in a variable?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @thomasdietschy 

You will need the drawing views referenced document then get the Active material. 

API full method

Dim drawDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim drwView As DrawingView = drawDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews(1)
Dim partDoc As PartDocument = drwView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
Dim material As String = partDoc.ActiveMaterial.DisplayName

MessageBox.Show(material, "Title")

Using ilogic and API method. 

Dim modDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.ModelDocument
Dim material1 As String = modDoc.ActiveMaterial.DisplayName

MessageBox.Show(material1, "Title")
