Hi everybody.
I am trying to perform, in a VB application, the operation of converting a manufacturing toolpath to geometry, such as it happens when one right click on the toolpath and click on "create geometry" (or something like that - i have an italian version). That creates the list of the segment in the open body of a selected part. I can't find how to perform that via Visual Basic.

Thanks for any help

Sorry don't know much about VB (yet :p).
Have you tried recording the macro? I know most of the time the record doesn't capture much but maybe you might get lucky.
 
Thanks for the help, but really it does not help very much.
Unfortunately, the recorded macro is:
-
Sub CATMain()
End Sub
-
... not very helpful isn't it? :(
 
Yeah, I get that a lot. Oh well, thought I'd try.
Any luck in the online docs? Particularly under Infrastructure?
