Yet, Yes, Another Macro

Yet, Yes, Another Macro

Look for a tool that will take all sketches in a loft and extracts those into seperate part files, placing the sketch on one of the standard default planes.  What I am trying to do is making easier to create drawing sheets for each profile in a loft without having to create custom views and turn on and off bodies and sketches within the original part file.  Cheers!

RE: Yet, Yes, Another Macro

I assume you want the new sketch-only part files to be linked to the original part?

This I know.  I think I found a workaround, so please don't go into any more work on my account.  Thanks.

RE: Yet, Yes, Another Macro

Wait, don't give up on the replies, I would like to know the answer on this also, as this will help make things a little easier when it comes to make a cutting list..

I decided to create custom views "normal to each sketch" in the part file, then place those views on the drawing sheet. I also hid the body so the sketch was only visible.
