External References through VB Toolkit

[wencyjr]

I'm using the new VB toolkit in WF4; I'm trying to get a list of all the external references of a model object. I've gone through the VB user guide and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.


In my test case, I had referenced a part using mirrored merge. I can get to the merge feature object using the solid->ListFeaturesByType() call but I can't get to the actual referenced part from the feature object.


Can someone point me in the right direction?


Thanx!

I haven't tried this in the PFC based toolkits (Pro/WebLink, J-Link) before.
I don't see any mention of external references in the documentation either.
Pro/Toolkit has this capability, but apparently not the other toolkits.


It's probably just one of those things that they can't do. You'll run into
these types of annoying limitations from time to time. Your only other
workarounds are to utilize a Pro/Toolkit library, or using mapkeys/macros or
trail files.
