Dynamic Sketches

I have searched all over the place, but I am thinking maybe this is not possible.



I know how to swap external sketches in extrusions using WF2. You
"Edit Definition" of the extrusion and select another external sketch
and the extrusion updates to the selected external sketch.



I would like to do this in a relation.



For instance, when assembling a part, one can use an interchange
assembly and then simply set the part name to a string variable (ie -
my_var = "partname.prt"). One can then change the program from



add part partname.prt

to

add component (my_var)



IS THERE A WAY TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH EXTERNAL SKETCHES?????



This would be a Godsend if I could, as I need to make varying profiles of an extrusion and need to do it programmatically.



Thanks in advance,

Jim
