I have a DXF export macro that we have been using for acouple of years. We just upgraded to SW 2007, and started using thefeature where you could create sketches for etching on a formedpart and the sketches show up in the correct location on theflatten part. SolidWorks puts these sketches in a folder called'Sketch Transformation' under the Flat-Pattern1 feature.

This is the code I use to insert a flat-pattern view and hide thebend lines.

swDrawing.CreateFlatPatternViewFromModelView2 strModelName, "",0, 0.04, 0, False

When using the above code, it also hides the sketches I want toetch. I then recored a macro and manually hide the sketch, and thisis the code I get.

boolstatus =Part.Extension.SelectByID2("Line3@Bend-Lines1@test123-34@DrawingView3", "EXTSKETCHSEGMENT", -0.02264193407659, -1.072191234602E-04,0, False, 0, Nothing, 0)

My part is called test123.slddrw, but I dont know what the -34 isafter that. Any ideas? I know that Bend-Lines1 is the bend linesketch, but what is Line3 ?

Any suggestions/comments welcome.
