an other sketch question

an other sketch question

an other sketch question

(OP)
I looking solution to find how many object/ what object are inside inside a active or selected sketch - informaton of child and parents of those objects.
thx in ad

RE: an other sketch question

Right click the sketch in the navigator and choose 'information'. That should give you a good starting point.

RE: an other sketch question

I'm not aware of any single function which would do this.  You can select a sketch and ask for information and it will tell you how many dimensions it has and such, as well as any parent objects.  Also, while inside the sketcher task, you can select the 'Show/Remove Constraints' icon and it will show you all of the constraints assigned to the various curves in your sketch.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 

RE: an other sketch question

About the only workaround I can think of would be to put each sketch on its own layer, with the datums for the sketches being on a layer of their own...unless you want to include the datums (planes/axis).  Not sure if constraints will count as objects...you'll have to experiment with that.

Then you can look at the layer dialog and see the Object Count (if you have that shown).  I guess that's one advantage of having 256 layers.

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Or I guess you could just use the dependencies browser.
