Adding Tabs to the Resources Taskpane

Unread post by doobes »

Greetings all,

I'm getting crazy here. Is it possible to add a tab to the SolidWorks Resources Taskpane into which I can put macros that I have developed?

I had a look at Toolbar+ from Cadplus, but all that does is add them to the pull down menu, about three clicks deep.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can but I was sure you could create a Custom Toolbar for your own needs, can't figure out how though.

Answering my own question.

Yes, it's possible.

Here is a example of a vba instance: https://help.solidworks.com/2025/englis ... ple_VB.htm

Most of the documentation is driven around C# instances though.
