you have to get the sketch feature, then you can delete.
check out the "delete selected feature example" in the api help. the catch is that you must have the sketch feature selected before you use modeldocextension.deleteselection2.

thx, mike
what i want to do here is to delete an unwated sketch, not feature
is there a way to delete a sketch (recognized by its name)

hi chris,
a sketch is essentially a feature (have a look at the swselecttype_e for more info)
of the part (document it can be an assembly) that it belongs to.
find below a macro that will delete a sketch named "sketch1" from a part
cheers,

option explicit
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim modeldoc as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim partdoc as sldworks.partdoc
dim feat as sldworks.feature
dim boolstatus as boolean
sub main()
set swapp = application.sldworks
set modeldoc = swapp.activedoc
set partdoc = modeldoc
set feat = partdoc.featurebyname("sketch1")
boolstatus = feat.select2(false, 0)
modeldoc.editdelete
end sub
in this world i am nobody...
and nobody is perfect !!!

dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim modeldoc as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim partdoc as sldworks.partdoc
dim assemblydoc as sldworks.assemblydoc
dim feat as sldworks.feature
dim boolstatus as boolean
sub main()
on error resume next
set swapp = createobject("sldworks.application")
set modeldoc = swapp.activedoc
set partdoc = modeldoc
if modeldoc.gettype = swdocassembly then set assemblydoc = modeldoc
set feat = partdoc.featurebyname("cog")
if modeldoc.gettype = swdocassembly then set feat = assemblydoc.featurebyname("cog")
boolstatus = feat.select2(false, 0)
modeldoc.editdelete
