SolidWorks API - accessing feature

SolidWorks API - accessing feature

SolidWorks API - accessing feature

(OP)
Hi,
I have part inside assembly and I am trying to access feature of part inside assembly and suppress it or unsuppress it based on some conditions.
I tried with (example)
swFeature = swModel.Parameter("featureName@partName.sldprt")
booleanValue = swFeature.ISetSuppression2(1,2,1,"Default")

but I could not run it. Does anyone know is it even possible to do it this way (through parameter)or I need to use some other way.
And by the way I am using VisualBasic .Net as language.
Thanks!
 

RE: SolidWorks API - accessing feature

swModel.Parameter can only be used to retrieve pointers to a Dimension object.  What you want is PartDoc::FeatureByName.
