Example

Remarks

This method:

  • allows you to access suppressed features.
  • returns features in the current order for the model, and this order changes when the model is edited.

Your application should not assume that:

  • features retain the same relative or absolute position throughout the model’s lifetime. For example, you should not assume that Sketch1 always appears before Sketch2.
  • any feature has a specific name. Because features can be renamed, you cannot assume that the first reference plane feature is named Plane1.

When traversing the FeatureManager design tree, your application should use IFeature::GetTypeName2 and IFeature::GetSpecificFeature2 to identify specific features instead of relying solely on IFeature::Name.

This method returns features in the model definition order, which is not the same as the order displayed in the user interface. See ITreeControlItem for details.

IFeature::GetFirstSubFeature and IFeature::IGetFirstSubFeature provide access to subfeatures.
