    Hi,

    I'm trying to write a macro that will measure and track the curve
    length of a 3D Sketch as a function of the sketch's imput geometry (the
    interection of a solid body and a plane). I can do all this manually
    (change plane definition, regenerate the curve, meaure length with the
    measure tool, and repeat) but I'd sure like to automate this. Is this
    procuedure easy to automate? I am a complete NOVICE with writing
    macros so if anyone has any insight (methods and syntax), I'd really
    appreciate it. 2004.

    Thanks

    If you look in the API help, there is a sample under
    SketchSegment::GetLength which should get you started.
