Hi,

i'm new to APIs and I'm curious what can you use instead of booleanstatus to select something. For example, i have selected a line with cursor and i get my object with this line: selMgr.GetSelectedObject6(i, -1)

Then i recorded a macro to convert lines and i got this:

boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2("Line1@3DSketch47", "EXTSKETCHSEGMENT", -6.24001922330137E-02, 0.186067950480265, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0)

boolstatus = Part.SketchManager.SketchUseEdge3(False, False)

Is boolstatus a variable? why do i save my selection then my convert command in it, looks so silly. i'm not judging i just really dont understand. anyway here is what i want to do:

        swModel.SketchManager.Insert3DSketch True      

    For i = 1 To selMgr.GetSelectedObjectCount

        If selMgr.GetSelectedObjectType3(i, -1) = 24 Then

'select the lines for convert

            boolstatus = selMgr.GetSelectedObject6(i, -1)

'convert the selected line

            boolstatus = swModel.SketchManager.SketchUseEdge3 False, False

            swModel.ClearSelection2 True

        End If

    Next i

Thx for any answers.
