Get All Feature Groups in Part NX 7.5 Visual Basic

[cquinker]

So I'm attempting to grab the Collection of Feature Groups or Sets Of Features in the current Part or even current Session. I can't seem to be able to do this in the same way that you get the collection of features, datums, points, etc in a given part.

I haven't managed to find a wrapper method for it in the UFModl Class or anywhere else for that matter.

Any idea if it's possible to get a collection of feature groups?

I do realize that this can be achieved by getting the collection of features, looping through the collection of features, and storing only features of type feature group, but I'm looking for a more efficient way of doing this if possible because many of my files have 1000+ features in them.


For those who do want to use my less efficient method :


Dim featureList As Features.FeatureCollection = workPart.Features

For Each tempFeature As Features.Feature In featureList
If (tempFeature.FeatureType = "FSET") Then
'Store feature group in an array or variable
'i.e. : var = CType(tempFeature, Features.FeatureGroup)
End If
Next
