AssociativeLine to Line 1

[Twullf]

I am trying to get a line from a passed AssociativeLineBuilder from a Line created in another Sub Routine. The journal selects the line calling for the name, I am trying to avoid this since I plan on calling this multiple times. The previous subroutine only uses the builder class, so I do not yet have the feature identified as Line.

Recoded journal code:

Dim line2 As Line = CType(associativeLine1.FindObject("CURVE 1"), Line)

Here is my code as it currently stands

   Dim feature1 As Features.Feature
   feature1 = associativeLineBuilder1.commitFeature()
   Dim associativeLine1 As Features.associativeLine = CType(feature1, Features.associativeLine)

   Dim line2 As Line = CType( associativeLine1, Line )

The problem is in defining the line. I know there should be a way.

Error says: Value of type 'NXOpen.Features.AssociativeLine' cannot be converted to NXOpen.Line

I do not want the program selecting the component by the name, but rather passing the value of the currently created components.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: The initial journal recording as posted, was not finding the physical line but a feature of that line, I think. There is a previous entry which finds the external line, which calls associative line to do so, so easily converted. Now the question is, What is "Curve 1" and how do I generalize it so that it will find this object on every line that is run through the code?

Recorded journal code is as follows, more complete:

Dim associativeLine1 As Features.AssociativeLine = CType(workPart.Features.FindObject("LINE(3)"), Features.AssociativeLine)

Dim line2 As Line = CType(associativeLine1.FindObject("CURVE 1"), Line)

Thanks again for any help.

Dim line2 As Line = associativeLine1.GetEntities(0)
