Recognizing Features Interactively (VBA)

This sample application illustrates recognizing a feature interactively in a SOLIDWORKS part document, and then creating that feature.

 

Sub main()

    Dim swApp As Object

    Dim sample As Object

    Dim Part As Object

    Dim boolstatus As Boolean

      

    Dim str As String

    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

    swApp.SetUserPreferenceIntegerValue swAutoSaveInterval, 0

        

    Set sample = swApp.GetAddInObject("FeatureWorks.FeatureWorksApp")

    Dim varOut As Variant

    Dim var1 As Boolean

                   

    Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

        

    Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

    boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID("", "FACE", 0.1165311335518, -0.006695921966639, 0.03257260156937, False, 0, Nothing)

    Dim InterOption As Integer

    str = "Fillet" 'Option to recognize interactive fillet

    InterOption = fwChainFeatures 'Turn on the chaining option.

    varOut = sample.RecognizeFeatureInteractive(str, InterOption)

    If (False = varOut) Then MsgBox ("ERROR")

    createOption = fwAllowFailFeatureCreation 'Option to allow creation of features with rebuild errors

    var1 = sample.CreateFeatures(createOption)    

If (False = var1) Then MsgBox ("ERROR")

End Sub
