NXOpen Find Feature in by Name

[EngProgrammer]

Dear Forum,

Is there an easy way to find a feature by name.

I found this in the solution center for finding a line:

Public Function getLineByFeatureName(ByVal theName As String) As Line
Dim aTag As Tag = Tag.Null
Do
theUFSession.Obj.CycleByNameAndType(workPart.Tag, theName,
UFConstants.UF_feature_type, False, aTag)
If aTag.Equals(Tag.Null) Then Exit Do

Dim lineFeature As Features.Feature =
CType(Utilities.NXObjectManager.Get(aTag), Features.Feature)
Return lineFeature.GetEntities()(0)
Loop While True

Return Nothing
End Function

An easier way (IMO) would be to iterate through the features collection querying the name property of each. When you find the feature with the desired name, save it and stop looking.

for each temp as features.feature in workpart.Features
  if temp.name = "magic value" then
    myFeature = temp
    exit for
  end if
next
