iLogic: How to find if a document is a sheet metal part and if it contains holes?

A - answer An example of iLogic code that can be used to verify that the current document is a sheet metal part (sheetmetal .IPT) and whether or not it contains holes (both modeled and flat pattern holes).

You can use one of these three suggested methods to determine the type, resp. subtype of the "Sheet Metal" document:

If iProperties.Value("Project", "Document SubType Name") = "Sheet Metal" Then
 MsgBox("This is sheet metal 1")
End If

If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then
 MsgBox("This is sheet metal 2")
End If
	
Dim oPDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
If TypeOf oPDoc.ComponentDefinition Is SheetMetalComponentDefinition Then
 MsgBox("This is sheet metal 3")
End If

Then use this iLogic code snippet to verify the presence of holes in the current sheet metal part:

i = 0 
'folded model holes?
For Each oFeature In ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Features
 If oFeature.Type = ObjectTypeEnum.kHoleFeatureObject Then
  i = i + 1
 End If	
Next
'flat pattern holes?
For Each oFeature In ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.FlatPattern.Features
 If oFeature.Type = ObjectTypeEnum.kHoleFeatureObject Then
  i= i + 1
 End If	
Next
If i > 0 Then
 MsgBox("Contains holes")
Else
 MsgBox("Does NOT contain holes")
End If
