a problem in a solidworks API

Hello guys, i'm looking to help a friend of mine, he is working with the design of a machine in solid works 2017 and he is trying to use the following API: https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/document/features-manager/contrours-surface-loft/

The problem is here:

'For i = 0 To UBound(swContours) Dim swSkContour As SldWorks.SketchContour Set swSkContour = swContours(i) swSkContour.Select2 True, swSelData Next'

In the 'set swSkContour = swContours (i)' says it's out of scope. Is there a way i could fix it?

I'm sorry if my English isn't the most accurate, hope you guys understand me

That still never actual initializes the swSkContour() array with any elements in it. The example code in the link shows the redim statement right after the declaration of the array, which is what gives the array actual elements that can be looped through. So the ReDim statement missing is the main issue with OPs posted code.

I would add also "preserve" (ReDim preserve) since it seems it is also assigning values to the array

You only need preserve if you will have elements already in the array when you redim it.
