Hi All,
I am just finding a way to select all the feature folder that are empty and delete the same.
i have tried modifying the below macro, to transverse thru the my assembly and find the empty feature folder and delete it. but the concern is after deletion, the "Set swFeat = swFeat.GetNextFeature" become null and exiting from the loop. thus only one empty feature folder is getting deletion for running the macro.
is there a way that i can make the selection list or array of all the empty folders and delete it.
Get Contents of FeatureFolder Example (VBA)
This example shows how to obtain the contents of feature folders.
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a part document.
' 2. Right-click a feature in the FeatureManager design tree.
' 3. Select Add to New Folder.
' (The feature is moved to the new folder.)
' 4. Open an Immediate Window.
' 5. Run this macro.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate Window.
