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...
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.
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...
Need some help to get started. I did my best to try to show what I wanted to do. Please help.

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...
How can I get the material that I specify in a part to show up on the BOM of an assembly. The material column is blank.
There has to be a way to get this to work.
I'm trying to create a library feature that will cut the holes I select to a fixed offset dimension to a fixed depth offset from a specified surface. I can get it to work with one hole, but I have a part that has 20. I would like to select all of the holes in one feature. Please help.
I was wondering if anyone has had trouble with controling revisions made to a part. My experience is that when I change my model and update the parts referencing it, I have know record of the previous state of any part in reference. Therefore, I can not tell exactly what changed for the revision...
Just need a little jump start on this macro if anyone could help.
I need to create a new drawing using a specific template from a random part that I have open at the time. I would like to have 3 std. views and an iso. Also I would like to insert the volume of the part as a note in the drawing...
Is there a way to have Solidworks give you the area of a hatch that you create in a section view? Maybe a macro that could calculate it instead of tedious calculations? pleas help
I'm trying to link a text note in a drawing to the configuration name from the model in view. This is probably a simple task, but I can't get it to work. I'm using Solidworks 2001plus, please help.
I am a Solidworks user and have a catia v5 file that I need to import. I have an add-in for translation of catia files, but the problem is that it is only good for v4 files. So, is it possible to save a v5 .CATpart as a v4 .model within catia v5? Please let me know if there is any other way...
