Solid Edge Geometry Type Library
Edges Property
Description
Returns a collection of edges of a specified type that belong to a model, a feature, or a topology collection of faces.
Property type
Read-only property
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Property Edges As Object
Remarks
The result of the Edges property is a topology collection. This topology collection is a temporary collection and is overwritten the next time the Edges, Faces, or FacesByRay property is used. By default, the Edges property returns all edges for the object. The topology collection can be restricted to a specified type of edge by supplying a value (from the FeatureTopologyQueryTypeConstants constant set) for the EdgeType argument for the feature objects only. For example, this property can be set to return all ellipse edges, straight edges, and so forth.
Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeframework.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgepart.PartDocument
    Dim objBody As solidedgegeometry.Body
    Dim objFaces As Object
    Dim objLoops As Object
    Dim objLEdges As Object
    Const TESTFILE = "T:\vbtests\testcases\freeform.par"
    ' Report errors
    Const PI = 3.14159265358979
    ' Create/get the application with specific settings
    On Error Resume Next
    Set objApp = GetObject(, "SolidEdge.Application")
    If Err Then
        Err.Clear
        Set objApp = CreateObject("SolidEdge.Application")
        Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Add("SolidEdge.PartDocument")
        objApp.Visible = True
    Else
        Set objDoc = objApp.ActiveDocument
    End If
    ' opening the test case file
    Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Open(TESTFILE)
    ' geting the body object from the model
    Set objBody = objDoc.Models(1).Body
    ' getting the collection of faces from the body object
    Set objFaces = objBody.Faces(facetype:=igQueryAll)
    ' getting a loop from the collection of loops for a particular face
    Set objLoops = objFaces(1).Loops
    ' getting the collection of edges for a particular loop
    Set objLEdges = objLoops(2).Edges
