Has anyone written anything that will create a new sketch?

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Has anyone written anything useful with the API? :x

I gotta be missing something simple!

Hello,

In "Binaries" one example is posted on 19th March. It calculates some property (perimeter , I think) of a sketch.
Hope that this example is of some help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn’t quite help. It did however get me to thinking, so I dug a little deeper and found my solution.

The example in the Alibre API help file says this

Set objADDesignPlane = objADDesignSession.DesignPlanes(\"XY-Plane\")

This is how the code actually needs to look to add a new sketch to an existing plane.

Set objADDesignPlane = objADDesignSession.DesignPlanes().Items(\"XY-Plane\")
