Raise window

[GeorgK]

Hello together,

i would like to set automatically a lot of holes. I have a sketch with a lot of points. How could I get all the points which are in a raised window

(by pressing the left mouse button and drawing a window while keeping the mousebutton pressed)?

Thank you

Georg

You can do this with the CommandManager.Pick method and the SelectionFilterEnum.kSketchPointFilter filter for it:

Hello Alex,

do you have a sample for me?

Thank you Georg

I guess Alex meant something like this:

Dim oComps As Inventor.ObjectCollection = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
While True
	Dim oComp As Object = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(Inventor.SelectionFilterEnum.kSketchPointFilter, "Select some points.")
	' If nothing gets selected we're done here
	If IsNothing(oComp) Then Exit While
	oComps.Add(oComp)
End While
If oComps.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub

'List through the points
For Each oSP As SketchPoint In oComps
	'Do something with the point
Next

That's the ticket @Owner2229! 🙂

@GeorgK did you click the link I posted? There are a whole bunch of samples on that page:
