drawing view - selected face, get edges
i have a drawing view of a sheet metal flat pattern. typical practice here is to show scribed edges as a yellow phantom line. i have put together a macro that will turn the selected lines into yellow phantom.
i would like to take this a step further. i would like to select a face in a drawing view. the external edges should be selected and then changed to phantom yellow by the macro.
i guess what i am asking is can someone help me get the selected face from a drawing view and select the external edges. i have tried a few things and have looked in the api help, but i have had no luck.
i have attached an image of a sample.
thanks in advance for your help.
