Set addin = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns. Set factoryDoc = memberDoc.ComponentDefinition. If Not ThenĬall MsgBox('Not an iPart member based occurrence') Set selSet = Ĭall selSet.Select(GetNamedFace(occ, 'MyFace'))įunction GetNamedFace(occ As ComponentOccurrence, name As String) As Face We can achieve all that using the following code - this is VBA Sub TestSelectNamedFace() Once we have that we need to also get the Face Proxy representing the specific Face of the iPart Member inside the Assembly, so that we can do things with it, like selecting it in the UI. The Named Face in the iPart Factory will not show up in the iPart Member, so we'll have to figure out the connection ourselves using the ReferencedEntity property of the Face in the member document. Here is an article on the difficulties of finding derived objects in iPart members: Get edge in derived part that drives work point This feature is something that you could also use to mark objects in an iPart factory and use that later on to find them when its member is used in an assembly. I wrote about how you could automate that in Automate creation of Named Geometry One enhancement in Inventor 2019 was the ability to Assign Name to objects - see iLogic Enhancements
