Retrieve Electrode EDM Holder Name

[jake.montgomery]

I am looking to retrieve the name of the EDM holder that is attached to a given electrode using API. I was able to do this in standard macro code with the following command...

STRING $EdmHolder = electrode[$ElectrodeName].holder.edm

Can the same thing be done using API?

I don't see a property or method in the PSElectrode Class that will give you the holder name. the full documentation is on your local drive under this directory:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\PowerShape and PowerMill API 0.7.66\sys\exec64 

You can get the electrode's heights, angles, name, quantities etc. but i don't see anything showing a relationship to a trode's holder.

nbaranowski, thank you for your response. 

AutoDesk, Can a wish be created to add the holder associations to the API?

Thank you,

Please can you try the following:

var name = powerShape.ExecuteEx("Electrode[\"" + electrode.Name +"\"].Base")

Does this give the name that you are after?
