SfmFunctionFactory (Object)

Gets the Function Factory.
Example:
This Example Retrieves SfmFunctionFactory from Part. 
 Set part1 = partDocument1.Part
 Dim Factory As SfmFunctionFactory
 Set Factory =  part1.GetCustomerFactory("SfmFunctionFactory")

Properties


Property SfmReferences() As (Read Only)
Gets the list of Sfm References. Use it to prepare a list of U & V References for Standard Opening.
Example:
This example populates a list for U References. Use the Add Method to add a reference to the list. 
 Dim Factory As SfmFunctionFactory
 Set Factory = Part1.GetCustomerFactory("SfmFunctionFactory") 
 Dim Uref1 As Reference
 Set Uref1 = Part1.FindObjectByName("CROSS.95")
 Dim UrefList As SfmReferences
 Set UrefList = Factory.SfmReferences
 UrefList.Add Uref1
