Hi,
I want to create a macro to select X plane from a selected parts in an assembly. can anybody help me? Still new in programming skill.
Thank you.

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swSelMgr As ISelectionMgr
Dim swSelGroup As New Collection
Dim swComp As SldWorks.Component2
Dim swFeat As Feature
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swSelMgr = swModel.SelectionManager
For i = 1 To swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectCount
swSelGroup.Add swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectsComponent3(i, -1)
Next i
swModel.ClearSelection2 True
For j = 1 To swSelGroup.Count

Dont completely know what you were looking for but that selects the "X Plane" of every selected component. Does not leave the components selected though. If you wanted both the components and their plane selected you just have to delete "swModel.ClearSelection2 True"
Thank you Ivana and Patrick. Both macro can be used and it is what I'm looking for. Patrick's macro is much simpler and easy to modified. One again thank guys for your help. now it is much faster for me to do the selection of the plane.
