Delete / Suppress feature in Inventor

[swestbrook60]

Does anyone know how I can loop through existing features in an Inventor part file and suppress or delete specific ones as required? I am working in C# and a snippet of code would be appreciated (VB is fine too).

I figured it out. Here is a bit of code showing how.

Notes:

1. You have to loop from the highest possible index backwards to 1 because the highest index no longer exists once you delete an item.

2. You have to know the feature type you are looking for, in this example a hole feature.

 

int num = partDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.HoleFeatures.Count;

for (int i = num; i >= 1; i--)

{

partName = partDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.HoleFeatures.Name;

if (partName.Contains("Hole1"))

{

partDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.HoleFeatures.Delete();

}

}
