Hi all,

Here again . I am trying to get the bounding box of a sheet metal part through traversing the feature tree. It works fine when the file is visible but it is not when it is not. Any idea how could I solve it?

This is the code:

swApp.DocumentVisible False, GetswFileType(Filename)

Set swModel = swApp.OpenDoc6(Filename, GetswFileType(Filename), swOpenDocOptions_e.swOpenDocOptions_Silent + swOpenDocOptions_ReadOnly, "", longstatus, longwarnings)

If Not swModel Is Nothing Then

Set swFeatureManager = swModel.FeatureManager

If Not swFeatureManager Is Nothing Then

Set swRootNode = swFeatureManager.GetFeatureTreeRootItem2(swFeatMgrPane_e.swFeatMgrPaneBottom) --> When the file is not visible swRootNode is Nothing.

If Not swRootNode Is Nothing Then

GetSheetMetalBoundingBox = GetSheetMetalBoundingBox_TraverseNode(swRootNode)

Else

GetSheetMetalBoundingBox = "0:0"

End If

Thank yor for your help!
