Hi, In this blog article I'm evaluating different methods of creating a progress bar when running the long operations in the macros or add-ins and compare the performance between them. You might want to use progress bar to improve the experience for the users of your macro or add-in. Thanks, Artem SolidworksApi/macros

I am running a macro which opens an .stl file and runs something and closes it. I need to run this on about 24000 files, but when I run the macro after processing about 1300+ files, solidworks crashes. Is there any workaround for this ? I'm using Solidworks 2018-19 education edition.
