I have been watching this thread with keen interest as it could relate to one of my macros. I've been trying to determine how to allow the user to select a directory from VBA without using VSTA or hardcoding it and generating springs from multiple files based on how they're named. Will that shellApp function do the trick or will a .BAS file need to be referenced? SolidworksApi macros

I'm trying to correct an issue where the line weights in ourdrawings are wrong. I can't find the enumeration in the API to setthe line weights. I've found the system option, but in 2009 theyswitched from being driven bySystem Options to being driven byDocument Options. And, I can't find the enumeration forthat.

Hi, There is possible to autostart a macro when I opening a specifiedpart or assembly? Can I build (or something other way) the macro into the part? The macro has a form, and I'd like the user could change the partbut with the form elements. If the user opens a part and if he have to run the macro manually,he could make changes in the part before he run the macro.

Trying to not have to click save and click another button to save the pdf. Please know I have zero experience with macros.
