Selecting multiple surfaces on a plane for scribe lines (engraving)

Selecting multiple surfaces on a plane for scribe lines (engraving)

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to rapidly create scribe lines on a part. I have a wall with multiple parts welded on it. I want to be able to add to the drawing engraved line (in a layer with a different color) of the perimeter of the welded parts, to ease installation. That drawing will be exported to DXF, so that the manufacturer can work from it.

I'm on Creo 8.

 

 So far, the best way I found was:

1. Activate the wall in the assembly.

2. Create a shrinkwrap feature and select the mating faces.

3. Place that shrinkwrap feature in its own layer.

4. Create drawing and modify layer to what's needed.

 

The problem with this method is that I have to select all the surfaces individually. In the example below, there's only a few surfaces, but in my case the walls have a lot more parts welded onto them.

 

If anyone has a better idea on how to do this, please let me know.

Thank you.
