Selecting Sketches In toolpaths

[viperx85]

Hello. Im sure there was a feature request forum somewhere but I cant seem to find it but here goes anyway.

When in the manufacture workspace and using a toolpath such as trace or engrave. you can select a sketch as the "curve selection" which is great but sometimes I dont want the entire sketch and there is a few lines I dont need. But you do not seem to be able to select the sketch and then remove individual lines?

Its either the whole sketch or nothing, the only other way is to select each line you do want individually but sometimes Im engraving something that has ALOT of lines and selecting each one is tedious. You cant even free-form or window select it has to be one by one.

Would be great if you could select and entire sketch then just remove individual lines you dont want.

Thanks! keep up the good work tho, I love F360

I am assuming you want to de-select very few sketch entities compared to the number included in the sketch.  Take a look at the Screencast and see if this approach is viable.

while not perfect that is a reasonable workaround 🙂 thanks

Actually this work around created some issues as the parts of the sketch I didnt want to use in the Trace toolpath were being used for extrude operations and turning these into construction lines creates errors in the extrude actions.
