Evening all,

I am looking for guidance on selecting faces within a part. Ive scan read a few api help pages and not quite sure where to go with this.

I would like to select a particular face in the part so that i can create a sketch on it. But as the first point of call is selecting faces i thought it best i look into this in more detail.

So first things first, a part has many faces and i know which face i want but how do i get the computer to reconise this? I read a little on the help that you can name the faces in your part. but again how does SW know what face to name what?

Lets say i have a cube and i want to always skecth on the front face of that cube. How would i get the api to select the front face? What does it use to know that the front is the front?

... digging myself a hole here...

Please can you link me into to useful api help pages and explain the very basics for me so i can understand more.

Many Thanks

Nick
