I printed in .PDF or the standard printer all the .SLDDWR files inside a specified folder. However, all files, SLDPRT, SLDASM, SLDDRW, must be in the same folder.

This macro allows to create output file in multiformats : - PDF, DWG, DXF for 2D - STEP, Parasolid for 3D It could also sort the files by typ (creating a subfolder per file typ). By default : files are stored into a library location (to be modified in the code) OR into the same folder than the active document OR path could be entered manually

Macro to Collapse the Feature Manager Design Tree. Designed to be added to a button in SW. Also included is a bmp image for the button. Collapses the Feature Manager for Parts, Assemblies and Drawing documents.

A simple user interface allows users to quickly export all dependents of an assembly into the selected file formats. File formats include pdfs, fxs, e-drawing, dwgs for drawings and step,x_t,igs,e-drawing for parts and assemblies. There is also the ability to multi-export file formats all at once. The macro will only export parts and assemblies that have drawings associated to them.Run the "main.main" Method. May pop up in the background.

Macro will toggle settings for Selection of hidden edges under Tool> Options > System Option > Display/Selection > Selection of Hidden Edges.May work on older versions too.

Display style toggle. Defalt is shaded with edges/HLV but can be change in the macro

This macro was updated 1-21-2010 to make the code simpler. This macro in in response to a request. The request was for 2009 but I have 2010 so you will need to modify the references in VBA under tools-references to 2009 or start a new macro and copy and past the program.This macro fills in certain custom properties based on the filename of a part or assembly. For instance, the first four characters of the filename are saved as the custom property "Project Name". The first 15 characters are saved as the custom property "drawing number", all the characters after the 16th are saved as the part title, etc. The title is also added to the summery page.

I use this macro to hotkey the escape button.I know many people would ask "Why would I want to do that?"Does not work in areas of SolidWorks that does not accept a hotkey being pressed.

Use this to learn how to call a stand alone executable from SolidWorks
