drawing macro


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a few solidworks parts with 100 configurations each which I need to create drawings for. The drawings will be basic length, width, heigth, dia dimensions. So I need a macro to either utilze a master drawing and change configurations then save as the configuration name or start at the part level create new drawing import dimensions then save as config name. Alternatly if you have another idea Im open to it. I would love it to run automatically till it has gone through all the configs. Maybe a master excel file that the macro refences with all the configs and it just runs through a list.

 

I don't know were to start. Maybe someone has a macro that does this?

 

Thanks

Well you can have an excel file that drives different configurations without having a macro. The macro will basically record your mouse clicks and there is a specific way you must tackle things. I think the excel sheet would be easier.

 

here is a great set of tutorials on features in excel and shows some of what you can do as far as integration.
