quick methods extruding lines

[Frizz]

hello to all, I would have a question about using the sketch. I use inventor 12, work at a company that produces medical tools for slabs, I have the task to pass autocad files in inventor, so as to get a 3d of all parts of the various machines and equipment.

the problem is when I happen to be serigraphed files, some machines have manual control systems through knobs, and to regulate them there is a silkscreen printed with graduated notches and tables.
this autocad silkscreen also has hundreds of small graduated lines at different angles, in inventor to make it 3d the only solition that I found effective for now is micro-offset to raffica on all lines so as to extrude them, takes me away a long time though.

Other methods such as thick lines are too long because they have to be taken one by one, apply decals does not go because every single notch has to be quoted at table and would lose references. I had found an alternative that is on the table click in the browser right button on the object, get sketch pattern, it also works in the assemblies but not in the explosions... If you could see it in the explosion I'd be fine, is there any way to see the sketches in the explosions?

Does anyone have any idea how to save me whole morning to do offsets?

I attach a small part of silkscreen, is a graduated scale imported by autocad, other problem is that there are different thicknesses in the lines...

thanks for the help

ifeature?

or extrude as a surface and then thicken.

or a macro.

Extruding as a surface and thickening is not good because I have different line thicknesses and especially many separate lines between them, the extruder allows me to take one at a time. every serigraphy has its own particular scratching with its precise number of notches, would you advise to create a block and then change it basic every new silkscreen?

I never used the macro, how does it work?
