Hi CodeStack,

See below for forum question:
https://forum.solidworks.com/message/1088036?commentID=1088036&et=watches.email.thread#comment-1088036

I am suggesting that CodeStack creates a variant of your existing macro to also include Cut-List item properties in an Excel command. This functionality would, in my opinion, work well with the existing macro (link below).

If the user is able to implement cut-list items in Excel similar to your existing macro, I'd imagine that they can use their user-form to populate excel with a list of SW Drawing files to read, get external references (SW Part filepaths), then use the excel functions to read their cut-list properties.
https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-document-manager-api/document/get-external-references/
https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-document-manager-api/document/data-storage/custom-properties/excel-functions/

Need to be macro take custom properties from active configuration of the part, not only from cut list properties.

Hello,

First of all thank you so much for the macros that already are available, they are awesome.
Would it be too much trouble to modify this macro (https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/import-export/export-sheets-pdf/) so that all the sheets get exported to DXF files instead of PDF files?

Thanks again.
Joan

Add this option to https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-document-manager-api/document/data-storage/custom-properties/excel-functions/

I am looking for a macro that will replace the Drafting Standard in all parts, assemblies, and drawings per the "Document properties" starting with the Main assembly (opened) and all its references to getting updated.

Добрый день ищу макрос для SW. Что бы он вытягивал габаритные размеры, массу детали, материал, сортамент из модели в отчет Execel. Буду очень благодарен.

Hi everyone!
First of all I wanted to thank you for the work you are doing, very useful for the community that wants to improve themselves with solidworks.
In this regard, I wanted to ask you if there is a way with "VBA" to solve my following problem:
When I create a new assembly, and insert new virtual components (parts) inside it, it would be very helpful if there was a macro that automatically assigns a progressive numbering to their name. It would be perfect if this macro could be applied instantly as the new part (virtual component) is inserted.
Do you think it is possible? Thank you in advance for your kindness!

Using SolidWorks API in drawing sheet, How can I automate balloons at exact location and attach arrow(Balloon leaders) to the defined an edge(silhouette, face, or vertex) of part in the particular view(Section view and details view of section view)?

Please find the attachment for review the code and test it with Assy.SLDDRW.

Hi i work with solidworks and i hope this macro it's helps me for my work better

Hello I am requesting a macro kind of like one you guys already made. Except this will forcibly reset the feature name to what it was when the feature in solidworks was created. For example an existing part that has had "Boss-Extrusion1" changed to "100207141 Used In whatever extrusion". I would like this macro to strip what the use inputted and change it back to the default name.

esiste un rinomina file in modalità assieme e relativo disegno restando in assieme ?

#Hello everyone,
First of all thank you for your precious work and for the development of SolidWorks add.

As is already existing for open in "quick view" mode an assembly or a drawing :
https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/getting-started/scripts/vbscript/open-quick-view/

I would like to know if it is possible to do the same with the save as step file command ?
The step will have the same name of the sldprt or sldasm, and save in the same directory.

I tried to modify the existing vbScript without result...
Thank you in advance for your support.

Hello,

I've been searching the internet everywhere for a macro that will allow me to check for missing balloons and possibly add them to a drawing in solidworks.

I deal with assemblies with 500+ parts at times so its a very painful process at the moment.

thanks
John

Add placeholder which should be resolved to the name of the assembly

Hello, I was hoping I could get help for creation of a macro. I have a bunch of drawings (each drawing has at least one to 4 pages) and I need to update the revision table on each of them without deleting the actual revision table. For example, I have a revision table with one or more rows. I need to delete the rows, add a new row and change the name of the revision to A00. Please help!

Is there a way to change the font size of sketch text in a Solidworks part model using vba code.
I was hoping to just select the sketch in the tree containing the sketch text then run the code
to change the font size and font name. I need to do this for over 1000 models to meet my company's new
font parameters. Can anyone help?

I'm looking for SolidWorks code to select all radii in the current sketch that is less than a specified dimension.

Thank You

Hello

Thanks for your macros for Solidworks. Could you tell me if there is a macro for group renaming of files according to the Exel list?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riLUT26XjC0&list=PLmMiwdK_cpdZp3GxbsnbPr5bak3dolEz2&index=6

There are many holes in part A, and part B also need to create holes align the center of holes with part A.
I think the "CylinderParams" property may resolve this problem. I try it with macro in part, it is worked, but not in assembly.
Do you have any ideas?

We're looking to digitizing our printed SolidWorks drawings to PDF's.
For this we need a Macro, which to my knowledge does not exist yet.

I've seen multiple PDF export macro's but none of which would fit our needs.

We have many different drawings in underlying parts and assembly's in a main assembly, which we would like to export all at the same time.
But since this different for each project we would also need to be able to select specified sheets and a folder.
I put an example in the attachment, which I made with Excel and Paint.
I tried to optimize the layout as best I could, but I'm open to suggestions.

I hope someone can help me with this, thank you in advance!

Per your comment on reddit, I am submitting a macro request. The purpose of this macro is to keep an up to date excel file of all part numbers and their descriptions. The idea is to run this macro either on the initial save or as a save as after a concept part is worth of a dedicated part number. Let's start with the initial save idea:

1. User clicks macro button to run macro
2. Macro opens hard coded excel file (excel file has two columns already titled Part Number and Description with a few entries)
3. Macro identifies the last part number in the first column (eg 123456)
4. Macro saves part to default location (or asks user for location) with file name as the next part number increment - 123457
5. Macro enters 123457 in the first column of the next row (under 123456).
6. User is prompted for a description and user enters the text (e.g. Left Gusset)
7. Macro enters this descriptions in the second column next to the part number 123457.
8. Macro enters description into part description of Solidworks part. (same description that shows up in the BOM table).

Optional: Description Update

1. User clicks macro button to run macro
2. Macro opens excel file
3. Macro sees that the filename already has an entry.
4. Popup asks user if they would like a new part number or if they want to update description
5. user selects update description
6. User enters new description into text window and selects OK
7. Macro overrides the description next to the part number (wherever it was - not in a new row)

I was hoping i could get some help with a macro creation. I need a macro that will create all dxfs of sheetmetal parts in an open assembly. The dxf needs to have the following entities (geometry, hidden edges, library features, forming tools) . I have found other macros online that does a similar task but not exactly what i need. Hope you guys can help!

When the assembly has a component with multiple configurations which result in different sheet metal, 'Object has been disconnected from its client' exception is thrown

Firstly, the macro as posted works well for me. Thanks!

For Inventor I've pieced together iLogic snippets that do what your SW macro is doing as well as additional functions. All together these save me a lot of time at work, using Inventor. And so, I'm inquiring to see if you'd have interest to add similar functionality to your existing SW macro.

The new macro suggested could work like this:

1. From a top level assembly, recursively cycle through all components (including both parts and assemblies) and populate a custom property within each with:
   a) its total number of occurrences within the top level assembly
   b) a reference identifying the top level assembly that the macro runs from
2. Verify, or create new flat patterns. Then flatten parts.
3. Profile plate parts cut from DXF's are often machined afterwards. For Inventor, just before the DXF is exported I unsuppress all features having names containing "extra", as in extra stock. Conversely, I suppress all features having names containing "machine".
4. Export the DXF with a filename that includes custom property data in the form: "-<mark, description or item> .dxf"
5. Reverse the flat and suppression states altered in steps 2. and 3.

If you find it helpful, I can share my Inventor iLogic code that is presently performing steps 1 to 5, but be fair warned, I'm no programmer.

I am looking for Solidworks Macro for "Exclude from Bill of Material"

Link the 'value' of each Inspection Dimension (bubbled) to its own cell in a table

Add <Qty> placeholder to be resolved to the quantity of the specified flat pattern. This should represent the flat quantity of the component in the assembly but also the quantity of the identical sheet metal bodies in the part

I really like your macro "Export individual sheets from SOLIDWORKS drawing to PDF", I use it often. Could it be adjusted to generate DWG files from the drawing sheets? Thank you in advance.

Quite often multi-body sheet metal part is used instead of an assembly. In this case, it is required to add this document to the dummy assembly to run the macro which is excessive. Add the support for running from the part as well.

Can any one help for making macro on making auto dxf ? (solidworks)
dxf should be save like below folder sequence and at the end we found dxf file.
DXF --> MS --> 2 MM --> part1.dxf

As per Alin's suggestion: https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/document/suspend-rebuild

Hello,

This is my first request. I First want to point out that I'm relative new to writing macros. Nevertheless I am very excited to write my own macros and I am learning a lot from the macros on CodeStack.com

I am facing the following problem:

I use a lot of weldment modeling for designing machine elements. In order to have unique part numbers I rename the CutListItems according to the designated partnumber and a suffix of b1, b2 etc. Off coarse this step is done with a macro ;)

For the drawings I want one or two sheets of the whole multibody part for all the welding dimensions and annotations and add a sheet for every body (CutListItem) in the multibody part. It would be very nice and save a lot of time if I could run a macro that automatically puts all the individual bodies on a separate sheet and renames the sheets according to the CutListItemName of that body.

I hope you can help me writing this macro. All the attempts and Google searches I did so far where useless. See the attached picture to see what kind of parts I am working with and how I number all of my parts.

Kind Regards,

Nick

Hello,

I was hoping i could get help with a macro that deletes the current revision table and then adds a (pre specified) new revision table; Then adds a new row on the revision table. I would like the fields in the new row to be editable and controlled within the macro.

I would like to be able to have the macro make the changes to all the drawing files within a pre selected folder.

Get the BOM of assembly, and create each Sheetmetal part flat pattern drawing in one slddraw file, and get the material, thickness, and quality value of the parts as annotation, list below the view. The part view that with same material and thickness will list in the same row.

I was not able to find how to hide planes in Solidworks model and assembly model. If anyone knows please let me know.

Thanks,

I have needed this feature over and over for a while now, will pay for this macro. Say I have a multibody part that is a chest-o- drawers. I have made "small", "med" and "large" configurations in this multi-body part. I want this macro to create a single assembly of the chest-o-drawers with configurations of "small", "med", and "large" as well (Solidworks does not pass the configurations through the parts or assembly with the "save bodies" command). I would also like this new macro to strip special characters in the body name as well when saving to parts. To be clear, each part would contain each configuration and the assembly would contain each configuration selecting the configuration of each part.

Can you create a macro for a part with multiple faces, each with a different color, that meshes the faces and records the vertices and color, so that the output would be the vertices and the color that each vertex “lies” on?

I need to export my created welds to a point (.pts) file or .csv file

I work with a lot of weldments and have to save may of my cutlist items to new parts in order to create individual prints for the part because of special hole locations, bends, things of that nature.
I would like a Macro that would take any selected cutlist item, or multiply items, and automatically create a new part and save them under the same file location and part-cutlist name. It would be nice if it could create a new folder labeled "part name"-cutlist parts and save them into this folder.
This would save me a great deal of time when working with larger weldments.

Hello,
Thanks for reading,
I'm looking for a way to save custom properties from all parts drawings of components in an assembly. Into a spreadsheet. Such as material, project title, etc. So I have a list of components I need to make.

Any help is much apricated!
