VBA Macro to hide all sketches in the model using SOLIDWORKS API

Comments

This macro will hide (blank) or show (unblank) all sketches (2D and 3D) in the active document using SOLIDWORKS API.

Change HIDE_ALL_SKETCHES option to specify if sketches need to be hidden or shown.

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2

Const HIDE_ALL_SKETCHES As Boolean = False 'True to hide all sketches, False to show all sketches

Const SKETCH_FEAT_TYPE_NAME As String = "ProfileFeature"
Const SKETCH_3D_FEAT_TYPE_NAME As String = "3DProfileFeature"

Sub main()

    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    
    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
    
    If Not swModel Is Nothing Then

        Dim swFeat As SldWorks.Feature
    
        Set swFeat = swModel.FirstFeature
        
        While Not swFeat Is Nothing
        
            If swFeat.GetTypeName2 = SKETCH_FEAT_TYPE_NAME Or _
                swFeat.GetTypeName2 = SKETCH_3D_FEAT_TYPE_NAME Then
                
                swFeat.Select2 False, -1
                
                If HIDE_ALL_SKETCHES Then
                    swModel.BlankSketch
                Else
                    swModel.UnblankSketch
                End If
                
            End If
            
            Set swFeat = swFeat.GetNextFeature
            
        Wend
    
    Else
        MsgBox "Please open part or assembly"
    End If
    
End Sub
