Summary	0003374: Sketch + Gui.SelectionEx() - - - Identify Geometry Index Outside Edit Mode
Description	Discussion Thread in Forum ... (seem more than Sketcher, 'Selection' function?) "Sketch - Identify Geometry Index (inside and outside Edit Mode)" Problem is:- Gui.SelectionEx()[0].SubElementNames would provide different Edges 'name' Inside and Outside Sketch Edit mode ...See screencaptures Say a rectangle inside sketch, Edges index report are, Anti-Clockwise, 1-2-3-4 [EDIT] ('1' being the edge at the 'bottom') Edge 2 is construction Exiting Edit mode, same code seem report the Wire edge number created, INSTEAD of the Geometry inside edit mode So, only 3 edges form a wire Outside edit mode Edges nos. BECOME (report here as it is in same direction) 1-(none)-3-2 [EDIT] 3-none-1-2 (same edge by edge) Or ClockWire as 1-2-3 [EDIT] Top Edge is '1' now Using the latter 'index' in sketch.geometry[index] would report wrong edge (following Geometry Index) information So, Solution I haven't found:- Outside Edit Mode, how can I without enter edit mode, a script to identify the selected edge's (the wire shape I guess) internal Edge geometry Index? Feature Request e.g. `Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0].SubElement_INTERNAL_Names` to return the same name or index as in sketch.geometry[i] Thanks!
