swpilotcli-list-features

name	swpilotcli-list-features
description	List features in the active SolidWorks document's Feature Tree, printing each feature's type and name. Walks from `FirstFeature()` via `GetNextFeature()`. Accepts an optional integer argument to limit output count (default: all features). Use to locate named reference planes, inspect feature order, or find features by name before operations like `move-rollback-bar`, `sketch-on-face`, or deletion.

SolidWorks List Features

Print the active document's Feature Tree as [TypeName] Name lines.

Prerequisites

• SolidWorks 2024+ with SwpilotCLI add-in installed
• .NET 8+ Runtime
• An active SolidWorks document

What this Skill does

• Walks the feature tree starting from swDoc.FirstFeature(), advancing with GetNextFeature()
• Prints each feature as [<TypeName>] <FeatureName> where TypeName comes from Feature.GetTypeName2()
• Optionally stops after N features if an integer is passed as the first argument

When to use

• Find the name of a reference plane before selecting it (e.g. Front Plane, Right Plane, or custom Plane1)
• Check whether a specific feature exists / verify order
• Inspect feature structure before move-rollback-bar, deletion, or debugging

# List only the first 20 features
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-list-features/scripts/ListFeatures/ListFeatures.csproj -- 20
