Here is another version, it can be simplified but I prefer it. Option Explicit Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Dim FileName As String Sub main() Set swApp = Application.SldWorks Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc FileName = swModel.GetPathName FileName = Mid(FileName, In...

How is this code intended to be used? I run this but nothing happens that I can see.

I should add that ideally I could run the macro and have it plug into a custom property value (ex PRP: "End of filename") so I could run this across hundreds of drawings.

Code: Select all

Dim substring As String
substring = Right(s, Len(s) - InStrRev(s, "-"))

Alex, this would be great but I’m no coder.

I am looking for help to display part of a file name that is after a certain number of characters or a dash symbol. For example, I have a part with file name 1-123456-001 I want to be able to display only the 001 from the end after the second dash on a drawing. How can this be trimmed and displayed?...

Hi Guys, I recently had the need to rename a bunch of files and have always used pack-and-go for this type of work, but it left me with something to desire. Does anyone have a macro that can filter out the renaming function based on file type? For instance, I need to rename only assembly files and t...

Check the macro by @artem here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgRB8YtB4v4 Thanks Deepak! Would it be possible to add a prompt to pop up when running the macro that allowed the user to input these values? That would be exactly what im looking for. The user would click save, be prompted to select a ...

You could set up a simple macro that checks the last number used in the format and adds 1 to it. For example, it could search for the highest number in your project (like XYZ-000-002), then prompt you for the prefix (XYZ-000-) and auto-generate the next number (XYZ-000-003). If you're using Excel o...

Hello friends, Does anyone know of a macro that automates part numbering? It would be awesome to have a macro that selects the next available part number that you could input on the fly that also stores the previous input until changed. For example, I make a new part for project XYZ-000. There are a...

In SW2025 this will be much easier because you can then pattern reference geometry. Attached is a library feature to help automate this a bit in the meantime. Drag the feature into your part, select the top plane or face of the part, then the bottom plane or face, then any plane that runs through th...

Code: Select all

swPackAndGo.IncludeDrawings = True

Where does this line need to be added?

I don't know of a function that can find out which drawing an assembly or part file refers to without opening that assembly or part file. It can be assumed that the drawing has exactly the same name as the assembly or part, and look for such files and, if they exist, copy them. But this is a rather...

Would it be possible to make a version of this that includes the drawings? This would become very useful if so.

Add this IF statement above the highlighted line in your error image.

AlexB wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 10:49 am What does the error say?

Going with a guess, it could be that a component is lightweight or something unexpected. I'd have to do a bit of testing to figure that out.

@jcapriotti , I updated the file in my previous post with one that seems to work better on assemblies as well. For read-only files, any changes will be skipped (this assumes these files are checked-in and cannot be changed anyway). There is a prompt that asks for permission to open then close files...
