I am trying to set a pointer to the RefAxis object for the CirPattern8 feature within a drawing file

1. drawing file open

2. In the Feature tree, under the Drawing View1, "CirPattern8" is selected

3. Check that the feature is a "CirPattern" (swFeature.GetTypeName2 = "CirPattern")

4. Pass the feature object to the PatternData subroutine

Trying to figure out why on line 10, "swAxis" object sets to Nothing, so the "GetRefAxisParams" method cannot be used.

<p>Sub PatternData(swCPFeature As SldWorks.Feature)</p><p></p><p>  Dim swCPData As SldWorks.CircularPatternFeatureData</p><p>  Dim swAxis As SldWorks.Feature</p><p>  Dim swCPAxis As SldWorks.RefAxis</p><p>  Dim bolReturn As Boolean</p><p></p><p>  Set swCPData = swCPFeature.GetDefinition</p><p>  swCPData.AccessSelections swModel, Nothing</p><p>  Set swAxis = swCPData.Axis  <==  This gets set to nothing</p><p><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 12pt;">  Set swCPAxis = swAxis.GetSpecificFeature2</span></p><p>  Debug.Print "Total instances: " & swCPData.TotalInstances</p><p>  Debug.Print "Angle: " & Round(swCPData.Spacing * 180 / (4 * Atn(1)) / swCPData.TotalInstances)</p><p>  swCPData.ReleaseSelectionAccess</p><p>  </p><p>End Sub</p>

I need another pair of eyes to find the issue.

Thank you - Dave
