I have a curious problem when loading a Creo sheetmetal file into our APS application. The bit I am having problems with is obtaining the surface body count from the SheetMetalComponentDefinition.

SheetMetalComponentDefinition scd = (SheetMetalComponentDefinition)partDocument.ComponentDefinition;
    var bCount = scd.SurfaceBodies.Count;

When we run it locally using the locally installed inventor instance:

InventorServer server = inv.GetInventorServer();

We get a valid surface count. When we run it via APS:

 public void Activate(ApplicationAddInSite addInSiteObject, bool firstTime)
 {
     Trace.TraceInformation(": UpdateIPTParam (" + Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(4) + "): initializing... ");

     // Initialize AddIn members.
     _inventorServer = addInSiteObject.InventorServer;
     Automation = new SampleAutomation(_inventorServer);
 }

The surface count is ZERO?

Any ideas would be appreciated. Sample creo file available: Sample Creo File

Thanks

  • You can contact us here aps.autodesk.com/get-help and provide the ID. Perhaps you could also provide there a business case (how important, urgent, this issue is) As things stand at the moment I don't think anything will happen this year. Commented Jun 25 at 19:24
