Edit Feature Sketch into Solidworks Part Document

Important

Please note that there are no explanations in the video.
Explanation of each step and why we write the code this way is provided in this post.

Update Method - SelectSketch

In this section, we update SelectSketch method for selecting Feature Sketch.

Please see below 👇🏻 image for sketch we want to edit.

Figure: Feature Sketch We Want To Edit

For editing we need to update below 👇🏻 line.

bool isSelect = swDoc?.Extension.SelectByID2(
    "Circle",
    "SKETCH",
    0, 0, 0,
    false,
    4,
    null,
    (int)swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault
) ?? false;

In above code, we need to replace “Circle” with “Sketch2” value.

Please see below 👇🏻 image for value we required.

After updating SelectSketch method will look like below.

private bool SelectSketch()
{
    swDoc = null;
    swDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc;

    bool isSelect = swDoc?.Extension.SelectByID2(
        "Sketch2",
        "SKETCH",
        0, 0, 0,
        false,
        4,
        null,
        (int)swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault
    ) ?? false;

    return isSelect;
}

For Demo, we already had feature whose sketch we want to edit with our program.
