What does RolledBackForEdit do?

[SometimesInventorMakesMeAngry]

I tried to use PartComponentDefinition.RolledBackForEdit to check if the End Of Part marker is rolled back (i.e. not all the way at the bottom), but it doesn't seem to work.

The description in the Autodesk Inventor API Help states:

Property that gets whether the model is currently rolled back to a previous point in the feature history.

I ended up using PartComponentDefinition.GetEndOfPartPosition to accomplish the same thing, but I'm curious as to what RolledBackForEdit does. Any ideas?

Nice catch. I just tested it's functionality too and when I had the 'End of Part' marker manually dragged up from the bottom, then tested it, it returned False, which doesn't sound right.  But then I tested it in a different way and hot the expected result.  In this other test, I had manually entered into the Edit mode of a Sketch for an earlier feature (not the last feature), then ran the rule while I was in that Edit mode (all later features are greyed-out in this mode).  Then the test returned True, as expected.  So maybe the name is 'literal'.  Maybe you have to actually be 'editing' something before the end of the part, before it will recognize it.  Just my two cents.

Interesting. I thought I tested that without success. Re-testing now it looks like it might only work with sketches. Editing features doesn't seem to return true.

Wonder why the phrase "RolledBack" is even in there. Seems like "EditingSketch" is a more appropriate name, but who knows.
