CAA program to measure between UDF and a face

[22555]

Hi,

In my part file, rectangular planar curve is available as a UDF.

I am able to search for UDF inside a part file using
GSDescendants->GetAllChildren("CATIUdfFeature", udfList);

Also got solid body using
spPartRequest->GetSolidBodies(stdContext, SolidBodyList);

I want to know how to measure between a face and User Feature?

When I try to declare UDF as CATIMeasurable, I get a error message
cannot convert from 'CATIUdfFeatureInstance_var' to 'CATIMeasurable_var *'

Thanks in Advance

Because UDF is basically anything, and may contain no geometry at all, so it makes no sense for CATIMeasurable.

I believe you have to find all of it's faces, vertices and/or edges and use them for measurement.

However, the error you are getting is a compiler one where you have extra pointer level at CATIMeasurable. And DS may have implemented measurable on UDF nevertheless.
