Save as copy with a subset of the configuration with macro
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2022 8:55 am
Hello all,
I have been trying to include the still relatively new Save as Copy with a subset of the configurations as a macro to get to the command.
https://help.solidworks.com/2021/Englis ... config.htm
The following command was recorded
Looking at the "ModelDoc2::SaveAs3" command in the help, I don't understand two things.
1. the command is obsolete, why is it still used in SWX 2021 SP 05.1?
2. there is no option to specify which configuration to save?
I then also ran the code to see if it even executed correctly. A new file is created, but it still contains all the configurations.
Not exactly what I expected.
On the following page: http://solidworks.cad.de/mm_30.htm
I found a macro that does exactly this task. But it also creates a copy of all existing configurations and then deletes the ones that are no longer needed.
But since I have to split files with a lot of configurations (~ 4500 configurations), I am looking for a way to speed up the processing a bit.
Does anyone have a solution how to solve saving the configuration with a macro?
