Making sketch in the view of the Inventor drawing by using VB.net

[thanh.trantuan]

Hi everyone, 

I want to make a sketch line in the view of the Inventor drawing, the position of the sketch line is determined from the part edge of the view.

for example: I drawing a sketch line, and the distance btw this line and the part edges are 150 mm, 200mm, 200 mm as mentioned above. The most important thing is when the part's edge is changed, the sketch will changed accordingly. I will make 5 sketch lines to show the section of the 5 vertical beams.

Could anyone suggest me the code to do this task?

Many thanks

Does the code need to do everything automatically, with no manual interaction from the user, upon running the code, or would it be acceptable to, ask the user to select View and / or Line in view, while code is running?

Can you attach non-confidential model & drawing files for us to experiment with?

Hi WCrihfield,

I come up with an idea that after the model was based then run the code, these section will be automatically created. I attached the model here, as you can see, in the model, the parts called web were created by Work_Plane. I intend to use the position of work_plane in the model to determine the position of sketch in the view of the drawing, but I cannot find the way to do.

Another way can be accepted is we can choose the edge of the parts where the section is created, then constraint this sketch as the picture show

Please help me to deal with this, many thanks
