How to find the parent of the linked_face in VB ?

PSI-CAD · Jan 11, 2023

Hi,

Withe the following lines, I am able to find all "LINKED_FACE' in part

For Each primitive As Features.Feature In maquette.Features
If primitive.FeatureType.ToString = "LINKED_FACE" Then
echo(primitive.FeatureType)
End If
Next

Now, I would like to find the parent of the linked_face

Thanks in advance

Regards
Didier

UF.Wave.AskLinkSource will give you the source entity given a wave link feature. The lines of code below are from an old journal I have; if all goes well, it will give you the tag of the source entity and the name of the part that owns it.

Code:

Dim theSourceEntityTag As NXOpen.Tag = NXOpen.Tag.Null
Dim owningSourcePartTag As Tag = NXOpen.Tag.Null
Dim allowLoad As Boolean = True
Dim owningPartName As String = ""

Try
    '.AskLinkSource throws error if link is internal to the part being processed
    '(simple hole, mirror geometry)
    theUfSession.Wave.AskLinkSource(theFeature.Tag, allowLoad, theSourceEntityTag)
    theUfSession.Obj.AskOwningPart(theSourceEntityTag, owningSourcePartTag)
    theUfSession.Part.AskPartName(owningSourcePartTag, owningPartName)
