    The title says it all.

    I have to have split lines around all bolt holes in a model I am
    preparing for FEA. And there are a lot of bolt holes. It would sure be
    nice to have all the holes in one sketch instead of one per bolt.

    Use Wrap with Scribe. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it supports
    the surface you are splitting...

    As long as the surface you are Warp scribing is one sufrace this should
    work. BUT if you have multiple surfaces I think you are out of luck.
    Arrgh...I understand your pain.

    Didn't think of that.

    The problem with this particular task is that the sketch is obtained
    by offsetting an already curved circle (through sheet metal bend) and
    wrapping it twice would introduce even more inaccuracy. I could live
    with the approximation, but purists wouldn't like it.

    And I think Wrap still is limited to one face on one body at a time. I
    need to hit four faces on two bodies.
