Help - Deleting Sketch Views

[mslosar]

I have a routine in .net that loops through all view in an idw and deletes different things so as to create 'clean drawings' for internal use when required.

One part of that routine deletes sketchviews (exempting breakout view sketches) people may add on top of views for whatever reason. Code is below.

 Dim oDV As DrawingView
            Dim oSV As DrawingSketch

            For Each oDV In oSht.DrawingViews
                If oDV.BreakOutOperations.Count < 1 Then
                    For Each oSV In oDV.Sketches
                        oSV.Delete()
                    Next
                End If
            Next

The problem is section views - or more aptly, the section lines themselves. Apparently .sketches find the sketch under the section lines and deletes that. You can then no longer move the section arrows, and most importantly if you decide to delete a section view, it crashes Inventor.

Is there a way of skipping sketches used in sections? Or will sketches have to be left on regardless and then manually deleted?

Ugh. Just came across something similar in making a different program.

The sketches used for section lines and the connection to section views and the section lines themselves is all very invisible to any want to be programmer. In order to accomplish any type of skipping of section lines, you will have to come up with a very creative work-around.
