Macro for Dissolving Sketch Text

Hello all!  In solidworks VBA, I'm attempting to turn all text found within specially titled sketches into its base segments.  The solidworks API documentation for the method (found here) is somewhat vague.  

 

Every so often, some variation on the code below seems to work on the UI (the text has visibly been dissolved), but the dissolved text is not picked up as a sketch during later parts of the function.  In addition, when it does work, it seems to "lock down" the solidworks UI - it won't even let me exit the assembly view after the macro has finished running.

 

If anybody has any idea how to reliably dissolve sketch text with the API, I'd appreciate the assistance.

 

For i = 1 To pathList.Count
   Set swModel = swApp.OpenDoc(pathList(i), 1) 'Can I force-open a drawing of the doc if I make the integer 3?
   Set swFeat = swModel.FirstFeature
   Do While Not swFeat Is Nothing
           If swFeat.GetTypeName2 = "ProfileFeature" Or swFeat.GetTypeName2 = "3DProfileFeature" Then
               If swFeat.Name Like "ETCH_*" Or swFeat.Name Like "OPEN_*" Then
                   Set swSketch = swFeat.GetSpecificFeature2()
                   swSketchTextList = swSketch.GetSketchTextSegments
                   If Not IsEmpty(swSketchTextList) Then
                       'Debug.Print "it's not empty"
                       Dim k As Integer
                       swSketch.Select4 True, Nothing
                       swModel.ClearSelection2 True
                       swModel.EditSketch
                       For k = 0 To UBound(swSketchTextList)
                           Set swSketchTextSeg = swSketchTextList(k)
                           If swSketchTextSeg Is Nothing Then
                               Debug.Print "It's nothing!"
                           End If
                           selBool = swSketchTextSeg.Select4(True, Nothing)
                           Debug.Print selBool
                       Next k
                       swModel.DissolveSketchText
                       swModel.InsertSketch2 True
                   End If
