I am stuck on something here.  I am trying to select an entity within a partdoc which I have gotten from a drawing.

I get an array of faces from a drawing view using

     vFaces = drView.GetVisibleEntities(Comp, swViewEntityType_Face)

"ent" is one entity within that array.  then once I am in the partdoc i am trying to use

     boolstatus = ent.Select4(True, selData)

where seldata comes from the selectionmanager of the partdoc

and although boolstatus returns a value of true... nothing is selected in the part, but it looks like it is selected in the drawing... so obviously an entity taken from a drawing is specific to the drawing.

the strangest thing is I CAN use

     ent.select2(true,1)

and that works (selects it in the part) and then I can create the feature i want (which happens to be an offset surface) but that corrupts the model somehow and I am unable to save the document afterward.

Does anyone know how to get a face entity from a drawing and use it properly in a part??

Thanks in advance,

Dave
