Is it possible to create a CCD(circumscribed circle diameter) onthe front plane of a part by using a macro. A ccd is the largestcircle that can be drawn around the outermost edge of a part whenviewed from the front plane. This is normally done by drawing acircle that is tangent to 3 radii that are tangent.See attachmentfor example. Thank you SolidworksApi macros
I was wondering if anyone had any sample code to get mestarted with this. I have a mate created. I want to write some codethat will select a mate, this I already have, edit it, clear theselection, then give it two new mating entities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, is there anyway to modify the Solidworks built in WeldSymbol creator? We have an older weld symbol standard that we stilluse on our drawings and would like to support it in the automaticcreation of our weld symbols. Problem is, SW calls it outdifferently, and not to the AWS standard we use. Anyone have any tips on how to do this?
Hello all, In my addin I'm trying to determine if the active document has beenmodified with respect to the PdmWorkgroups vault. (Something likethe icons that one sees in PdmWorks) I was going to use the UpdateStamp function, but the returnedvalues are completelly different, even immediatelly after checkingin a document. Have any ideas?SolidworksApi macros
Alright I need some help on this one. Is there a way to write a Macro/Code to automatically import partsinto an assembly and have the part snap to a mate reference alreadyset up? I wrote a macro to bring the part in but for some reason it doesn'tsnap to the mate reference. Please help.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 everyone, The macro in the link below was sent to me today in the SolidWorksnewsletter. I thought it might be useful for some of you so follow the linkbelow and have a look. Cheers, --Stav. http://files.solidworks.com/sw...WX040709_APItip1.html SolidworksApi macros
I run the macro in sw2009 no problem,but in SW2007sp5.0,theruntime error happend.The error was also in SW2008sp3.1. How Can I to solve the Runtime Error? In SW2007sp5.0. Look at the macro in attach files.SolidworksApi macros
I develop MEMS devices. I would like to model them in SW butI need a way to add a conformal coating. For instance, I would liketo add a polysilicon layer over a complex topology formed byvarious depositions and etches. Something similar to building aprinted circuit board.
Hello, I'm trying to select faces using SelectByID2 and I need the facecoordinates (or their ID). I tried using face.getBox, but it makestroubles :-/ Any ideas? thnanks.SolidworksApi macros
I'm in the process of upgrading to Vista 64 bit I'm just wondering if there is any problem between SolidWorks Macro(VBA) /Addin (VB6 and NET) and Vista 64 bit Thx, ChrisSolidworksApi macros

TranslateComponent obviously does not work... at least itrequires user input.SolidworksApi macros
Can anyone successfully get this to work? I got theproperties, knot vector and control points from an edge andseparated them for the parameters but when I Call this I do not getany spline created. (not sure how I'm suppose to use the "modeler" though but I simplyuse GetModeler and called the function while a part was open) SolidworksApi macros
Anyone have an existing macro or code I could use to accomplishthis? Also, is there any way to get the GD&T associated with eachdimension as well? Thanks, DonSolidworksApi macros

Can we select Structural Members from a list in an Exceltable and apply this choice to the Structural Member function inSW? SolidworksApi macros
When opening sketches, editing dimensions etc. Is it betterto use commands like modeldoc2.ActivateSelectedFeature & modeldoc2.ClearSelection2 True as recorded macros have ? On playback, does it make a diffrence ?Is it more stable ?
Is there a simple way to return the upper and lower-mostsurfaces/edges/points in a drawing/drawing view? I am looking for a way to place overall (height and width)dimensions on an assembly who's components will be changing(internal ID's of dimension references change). SolidworksApi macros
This should be as straight forward as falling off a log butwhen I go to Amazon to try to find an upgrade I just get a sea ofVB.NET offerings. Please could someone tell me what the upgradefrom VB6 Professional is called? Also is the transition fairly straight forward - is there gooddocumentation for this? Will I be able to run VB6 programs,unmodified?
Hi, I am thinking that I might make a program that will place a previewof each item in a BOM beside it. See image below. Anybody have any good ideas of how to do this. I thought about justplacing views in to the drawing but then it would load really slowif it were a long list.SolidworksApi macros
Hi all How does this work? I cannot get all name... This works, but return only the word "layput" and ii as 4 - thereis 4 configurations... params (widestring) := SWPart.IGetConfigurationNames(ii); How do I use GetConfigurationNames and how do I get those names?
I've been trying to get a part to move in an assembly withvb.net with no luck. I'm at the end of my patience. i just want tomove a part an incremental distance. i'd also like to be able torotate a part that is concentric to another part. it's driving mycrazy.SolidworksApi macros
