Move feature via API can't move sketch objects

Hi,

So I noticed that the input entities in the create input 2 function in the Move Features section can only contain an object collection of bodies or faces but not a combination of both, but why not sketch objects??? especially that it's a normal thing to do manually inside F360, like moving a sketch point or moving a sketch line for example.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Saeed.

Hi @SaeedHamza .

I believe the Move Feature is for what will become a timeline.
I believe this is correct because manually moving a sketch entity does not make it a timeline.

You can use the Sketch.move method to move sketch entities.

Hi @kandennti ,

I believe what you're saying makes perfectly sense.

Also I knew there was a move command in the sketch section, but I didn't know that you can use it for specific entities inside the sketch, which is exactly what I need so Thank you very much!
