RE: Display Name of Sketch Entity?
Do you mean names like 'line' and 'arc'?

What are you actually trying to achieve? There may be a slightly different way to reach your actual end goal.

Since SW offers UP the info. I'm assuming it does for a reason. Also the info isn't even displayed in the properties manager for the line.
Thanks.

It is much simpler for users to click on graphical entities rather than keep track of their ID's, and have to type them into a selection box.
Maybe the ID's could be used in API macros if non-graphical manipulation is required.

BARM,
Did you have a specific use in mind for the entity names?
RE: Display Name of Sketch Entity?
When you select Entities it displays the names in the Property Manager.
If you Box select all your geometry you can locate each item by selecting it in the Property Manager and looking for it to highlight on screen. You may need to be in Add Relations to get the item names or just select more than one item.

No. I just came across the info and wanted to know it's function or display methods.
Thanks.
