PartFeature Object
Description
The PartFeature object is the base class for all part modeling features.Methods
| Name | Description |
| Delete | Method that deletes the feature. The arguments allow control over which dependent objects are also deleted. |
| GetReferenceKey | Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity. |
| GetSuppressionCondition | Method that gets the suppression condition for the feature. The method returns False if no condition has been applied. |
| RemoveParticipant | Method that removes the specified participant from the assembly feature. This method fails for features in a part. |
| SetAffectedBodies | Method that sets a collection of SurfaceBody objects affected by this feature. |
| SetEndOfPart | Method that repositions the end-of-part marker relative to the object this method is called from. |
| SetSuppressionCondition | Method that sets the suppression condition for the feature. |

| Name | Gets/Sets the name of this Part Feature within the scope of this Document. |
| OwnedBy | Property that returns the owning PartFeature object. This property returns Nothing if the IsOwnedByFeature property returns False. |
| Parameters | Property that returns all the parameters associated with the feature. |
| Parent | Property that returns the parent of the feature. |
| Participants | Property that returns the list of participants for an assembly feature. This list is empty for features in a part. |
| RangeBox | Property that returns a Box object which contains the opposing points of a rectangular box that is guaranteed to enclose this object. |
| Shared | Gets and sets whether the part feature is shared or not, applies only to surface features. |
| Suppressed | Gets and sets whether this feature is suppressed or not. |
| SurfaceBodies | Property that returns the bodies that this feature has created or modified. |
| Type | Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type. |

| Name | Description |
| Highlight Feature Faces | This sample highlights the faces of an extrusion, revolution, or hole feature. It differentiates the faces on the start cap, end cap, and side faces by highlighting them in different colors. The HighlightFeatureFaces sub highlights the feature faces. Since the highlight set objects are declared outside of this sub, the highlighting remains after the sub has finished executing. Use the ClearHighlight sub to clear the highlighting that does so by releasing the HighlightSet objects. |
| Create sheet metal rip feature | This sample demonstrates the creation of a rip sheet metal feature. |
| Sheet Metal Feature Display | This sample illustrates getting basic information from the various sheet metal features. |
