System.object FirstFeature()

System.Object^ FirstFeature(); 

Return Value

This method returns features in the current order for the part, and this order changes when the part is edited.

Your application should not assume that:

• features retain the same relative or absolute position throughout the part’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.

If a feature is suppressed, then this method can still access the feature.

To access the next feature in the FeatureManager design tree and subfeatures, use IFeature::GetNextFeature or IFeature::IGetNextFeature and IFeature::GetFirstSubFeature or IFeature::IGetFirstSubFeature.
