Yeah I will contact my VAR about it.

For now i will go with the BOM generated by Solidworks

Hi, All When i'm using the generated BOM in Solidworks PDM, I'm missing some items. We're using Solidworks 2020 SP 5 with PDM standard 2020. Have master assemblies with a total of 700 different parts, with a total of about 3000 We use the following settings for the BOM: The latest reference vision D...

Hi all. I want to change the way the revisions work. Right now a designer is changing some part, submit it for approval, write in the comment section what he did and clicks ok. than the reviewer checks it and approves the part and fills in his comment('approved' most of the time). The comment from t...

Thanks to you both, this will help alot

Hi everyone,

I can vaguely remember that there was a simple option to hide toolbox components(but maybe it was in another cad program).

But is there a way to quickly hide those components.

So the Solidworks forum still had some interesting stuff. Interesting. I did a quick search and came across this from deepack Yes you can do that via a macro. Actually there are few steps to do that. First you export the layers details as an excel file. Rearrange the layers in excel and then use the...

Is there a way to change the layer order of the drawing layers. There is a move button in the layer menu, but that does nothing.

That was the solution, it works. Thank you

When I get back to work I will look at the code to change it to getpathname.

When I change the export ripe to PDF or dxf it will add the sheet name. In the middle.

So filename-sheetname-revision.pdf

So first i see that i posted this in the PDM sup and not the macro sup. Is it possible to relocate this post?

I was looking around here and i came across codestack. looks promising. I certainly will use that.

Hi thanks for the help. The macro i use to save .STEP is by Deepak and i had to make some changes to some values so it would work for me. With the changes i made with insperation from your code it worked. It can now save on the original folder and the dump folder. I also changed the .STEP to a combi...

Hi all, currently we use a macro to export PDF/DXF and STEP files to the folder of the part/drawing. the macro takes the filename and add the revision to it and it works great(unless file has the same name and is checked in, then whole solidworks will stop). We can simply locate the files and copy t...

Hi all. I'm quite new to the whole macro making stuf and i want to learn. But i need some reading/watching/exercise material Lets say i don't have any experience in coding. So ik will need to understand the basic. I used en implemented macro's, changed PDF to DXF, changed some custom properties. Tha...

Hi, ik think i'm the CAD admin here at my work. I'm working here for almost 2 years now. The setup when i started was a little confusing, a NAS with a very deep folder structure. But now we work in a pdm system with the rule that we only go 4 folders deep. I installed the PDM system and set all the ...
