when the macro is run a form will appearinput the desired folder location of the drawings you wish to save as pdf. A small line of text below the folder to open field will indicate if any slddrw files were detected.in the save to folder paste the desired save to folder for all PDF files to be saved.optional; if you wish to put a prefix or suffix to the saved PDF file put he text in the corresponding input fields.click ok to run the macro. A progress bar will appear showing the user the current status of running the macro. The marco will open a SLDDWG file then save as a pdf and close the file. It will repeat over all SLDDWG files in the desired folder

This macro, when launched in the design environment, will create subfolders within the directory where the files are, and will save the design as .pdf and .dwg, it will also save the file associated with the design file as .step, if the file has a revision the files will be saved with the revision exponent. Finally, all files will be saved in their respective folders.

this macro save as PDF, DWG, save the current draw in the Current Working Directory and close the active document.

When SW session ends, you will be asked if you would like to use your SOLDWORKS on another computer instead of this one. If a user answers yes, then either a message on how to deactivate SW is displayed or the SW Activation Wizard is launched. Updated 2/16/2022 and tested on Windows 10 with SW2020, SW2021 and SW2022. Should work with all releases from SW2012 forward.

Selects parent assembly of the selected assembly component. Useful when paired with the "Open Selected" or "Cycle References" macro along with keyboard shortcuts.

Opens the selected assembly/drawing component in a separate window. Also works on imported part bodies. Useful when paired with the "Select Parent" macro along with keyboard shortcuts. If no compatible component is selected, macro will launch the File-Open dialog.

Sometimes you need a placeholder for consumables, or other items that you don't model so that they show up on your BOM. This macro creates a little part; A rectangle with a part number on it's face, and adds 3 custom properties to it: Part No., Author, and BOM_Description.You can then insert it into your assembly, and make it virtual, so you have something to Fill in your BOM for those odds and ends.You can edit the macro to rename the fields to match your BOM structure.

Easily Load or Unload the SOLIDWORKS CAM Application

This macro toggles the exploded view state of the active assembly configuration. If no exploded view exists, then no action is performed. If an exploded view does exist; the macro detects if it is in an exploded state, and if so, the macro will collapse the view. If the macro detects the view is in a collapsed state, the macro will explode the view. For assembly documents only. If more than one exploded view exists per configuration, this macro will only interact with the first exploded view. Use the bitmap and place the macro on the S-Key of the SW GUI.

This macro was created to help NC Programmers utilize a SOLIDWORKS part model that has read-access only. This macro inserts the read-only engineering model into a read/write manufacturing part model that allows the NC Programmer to create tool-paths and maintain associativity to the engineering model. This is helpful for any Gold Solution NC Programming partner that stores their manufacturing data inside a SW Part (such as CamWorks). This technique is useful when NC Programmers have read-only access to the engineering model within PDM. This macro also has a .bmp included so it can be customized as a button with the SW UI.
