SketchUseEdge3 Method (ISketchManager)

Creates sketch entities on a sketch plane by projecting selected edges, loops, faces, curves, and external sketch contours.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function SketchUseEdge3( _
   ByVal Chain As System.Boolean, _
   ByVal InnerLoops As System.Boolean _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISketchManager
Dim Chain As System.Boolean
Dim InnerLoops As System.Boolean
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.SketchUseEdge3(Chain, InnerLoops)
C# 
System.bool SketchUseEdge3( 
   System.bool Chain,
   System.bool InnerLoops
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool SketchUseEdge3( 
&   System.bool Chain,
&   System.bool InnerLoops
) 

Parameters

Chain
True to convert an entire chain of sketch entities, false to convert only the selected sketch entities (see Remarks)
InnerLoops
True to convert the inner loops of the selected faces to sketch entities, false to not

Return Value

True if the sketch entities are created, false if not

Example

Remarks

Specifying true for the Chain argument creates the selected sketch entity and any other sketch entities that belong to the same sketch contour or chain (contiguous geometric entities like sketch edges) on the sketch plane.

To display all sketch relations symbols, set IModelDocExtension::SetUserPreferenceToggle swViewSketchRelations to true, which can adversely affect performance. To hide all sketch relation symbols, set IModelDocExtension::SetUserPreferenceToggle swViewSketchRelations to false, which can improve performance and was the default setting prior to SOLIDWORKS 2005.
