Hi wonderful NXJ community!
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with what I am doing. I am trying to select faces and return them as an array. It should be simple. I am migrating from "selectTaggedObject" which is a single face to "selectTaggedObjects" which is an array (right?)
My code is this
Public Function SelectFaces(ByVal propt As String) As Face()
Dim title As String = "Select faces"
Dim includeFeatures As Boolean = False
Dim keepHighlighted As Boolean = False
Dim selAction As Selection.SelectionAction = Selection.SelectionAction.ClearAndEnableSpecific
Dim scope As Selection.SelectionScope = Selection.SelectionScope.AnyInAssembly
Dim selectionMask(0) As Selection.MaskTriple
Dim selectedFaces() As Face = Nothing
With selectionMask(0)
.Type = UFConstants.UF_solid_type
.Subtype = 0
.SolidBodySubtype = UFConstants.UF_UI_SEL_FEATURE_ANY_FACE
End With
Dim responce1 As Selection.Response = theUI.SelectionManager.SelectTaggedObjects(
propt, title, scope, selAction, includeFeatures, keepHighlighted, selectionMask, selectedFaces)
If responce1 = Selection.Response.Ok Then
Return selectedFaces
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End FunctionWhen debugging, this gives an error on the line with .selectTaggedObject( that says "Unable to cast object of type 'NXOpen.TaggedObject[]' to type 'NXOpen.Face[]'"
I don't understand. When I used the "selectTaggedObject" I passed in a variable of type Face for it to put what you selected into. Now i have a Face() and it should put all the faces you select into that array.
Am I missing something?
Pleeeeease help
PS. selectObjects says it has been superseded by selectTaggedObjects
