you can go to utilities, extract edges, from solid. then select the solid and ok. this works for me. hope this helps you.
Can anyone help me with extracting edges from a solidworks solid so the I may generate a tool path to cut profile? I can open the file and I seem to remember I am supposed to unstich and flatten the solid, but I can't get the software to do it. Thanks JAck

Thank for your quick reply. I forgot to mention that I am using V21? I don't have utilities, but I can go to solids, extract edge. This gives me a 3 dimensional part. I need to flatten and I cannot remember how. BobCad will help me for $300.00! Jack
Just delete the lines you don't want?

Unselect all.
Go to 3D > More... > Move to Z
There you can window select the wireframe and move to desired Z level.
Then run Change > Reorganize > Erase Doubles to clean up.
