Where is 2006 SP5?!!!!! They released 2007 SP0 before fixing all of the problems with 2006... typical. We will upgrade around SP2 or 3 when it is somewhat stable. -Jeff SW2006 SP4.1

Got it to work with Model.Extension.DeleteSelection2 Sub main() 'This macro will delete a sketch named "whatever" Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim Model As ModelDoc2 Dim feature As feature Dim boolstatus As Variant Dim bValue As Boolean Set swApp = Application.SldWorks Set Model =...

Thanks handleman, that worked great... but now how do I recall that sketch if I want to delete it?

I have a macro that creates a 3d sketch around a part and I would like to give it a name so that it can be recalled by another macro. The following is the current code to insert the sketch: Part.Insert3DSketch2 True Part.SetAddToDB True Part.SetDisplayWhenAdded False 'Draw bounding box...

Thanks for all the input. I believe the best work around is the sketch driven pattern. I haven't tested all of my callout formats, but it seems that so far they work correctly in a hole table feature... I had some problems with the quantity when using the hole callout feature. Either way, it...

I have used design tables to control dimensions, but I'm not sure how to get them to control whether or not a sketch points exists.

I can make the points reference another "master" sketch or feature and it works great until I delete a referenced sketch point or add new points to the "master sketch. The hole wizard feature will not recognize the added or deleted sketch points until I manually edit the sketch of each hole...

Is it possible to have multiple hole wizard features share the same sketch... when you add or delete sketch points all hole wizard features referencing that sketch will update.

Each part has it's own design table and the defining assembly has a configuration table. All mates and features are unsuppressed and all features are configuration specific. I have tried different methods, but I want to use the hole wizard feature to keep my hole callouts consistent. I am using...

The reference plane exists and is resolved in all configurations in the defining assembly of the smart component. In a new assembly with the smart component inserted and mated: After I insert the smart features, I change the component properties of the smart component to a different...

I have encountered a problem that envolves the smart component feature and would like to know if there is a solution. I made an assembly with the part I wanted to make a "smart component" and 3 parts that would be affected by it. All of the parts have matching configurations that are defined...

Thanks for the input... For now I am looking into the smart component feature because it seems like it will do what I want. Although, I am having difficulty with multiple configurations of a smart component. I have about 20 configurations of a part that I want to make as smart components. Each...

Need some help to get started. I did my best to try to show what I wanted to do. Please help. '---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Preconditions: ' An assembly that consists of three or more parts (Cavity, Mold, EJ Plate) ' A sketch containing...

Does anyone know how to link an item # from a BOM to another drawing? We model up our assemblies, then create a layout with a BOM. After the layout is approved, detail drawings are created of each component. I would like to have the item # in the layout BOM reflect the detail # of each drawing...

I need to know if I can link an Item # from an assembly drawing BOM to a note on an individual component drawing.
