Hi all,

Has anyone seen a macro to detect multiple overlapping lines in
sketches? I'm spending an awful lot of my time debugging crappily
drawing AutoCAD dwg imports that lines on top of lines. Of course
this makes feature generation problematic at best.

Thanks in advance

Chris,

I know this isn't the answer you want, but if you are encountering
issues with the importation of ACAD drawings into SolidWorks, then I
highly recommend simply recreating the geometric natively in
SolidWorks. You maybe using more time repairing crappy ACAD sketchs
than you would if you created them from scratch within SolidWorks.

I have an addin that counts and sorts sketch entities. That may be a
good start point.

The bad news is that the program on my website is an addin, not a
macro. I would have to go and find the source code.

I know what you are saying, but sometimes this is easier said then
done.

Thanks,
