patternFeatureBuilder1.FeatureList should have it.

Depending on the designer's "creativity," the list may have more than one feature, even more than one hole package, so you'll need to look for the one you need in there.

Bleker,

thanks for help. It's very usefull for me.

I have another problem:

Pattern feature has three method: Simple, Single and Variational:
I use this code for find all HolePackages in features of myComponent:
CODE --> vb

Dim featureHolePakage As New List(Of Features.Feature)

For Each partFeature As Features.Feature In myComponent.Prototype.OwningPart.Features

If TypeOf (partFeature) Is Features.PatternFeature Then
Try
Dim myPatternFeat As Features.PatternFeature = Utilities.NXObjectManager.Get(partFeature.Tag)
Dim patternFeatureBuilder1 As NXOpen.Features.PatternFeatureBuilder = workPart.Features.CreatePatternFeatureBuilder(myPatternFeat)
Dim patternFeatureList As Features.Feature() = patternFeatureBuilder1.FeatureList.GetArray()

For Each dummyfeature As Features.Feature In patternFeatureList
If TypeOf (dummyfeature) Is Features.HolePackage Then
featureHolePakage.Add(dummyfeature)
End If

Next
patternFeatureBuilder1.Destroy()
Catch e As NXException
End Try
ElseIf TypeOf (partFeature) Is Features.HolePackage Then
featureHolePakage.Add(partFeature)
End If
Next


For two first method it's work ok, but for variational method, one time it find pattern as Features.PatternFeature and after as Features.HolePackage.
And I have duplicate feature on my List.

Mayby somebody work with it and know way to select only one this feature.
