Hi all,Bob,ProFeatureExternParentsGet and ProFeatureParentsGet would work, you'll get an array of the parent features,then you shouldloop to look for feature type PRO_FEATURE_CURVE, get its element tree and then you'll need to check PRO_E_CURVE_TYPE element of the feature elementtree tohavethe value ofPRO_CURVE_TYPE_SKETCHED.Alternatively you can extract the element tree of the feature in questionand get the value of PRO_E_USE_SKETCH element. For the external sections the value would be avalidProSelection (ProReference) and the value would be NULL for the internal section.HIH.Feliks.In Reply to Bob Monat:Greetings, Pro/TK hackers,Using TOOLKIT, how can it be determined that an external sketch is consumedor used by a feature?Create an external sketch.
