Stored macros
Stored macros
(OP)
I'm sure SW have special location for them (macros), but where?? I'm asking about SW 2005. And, is there any list about them - what kind of macros SW already have (so I don't have to "create bicycle" again...)?






RE: Stored macros
There are no macros included in the install, but there are a bunch of examples in the help (that you have to copy/paste into the VBA editor).
It's best to create a directory directly under the SW install directory and store your macros there. The directory structure would be something like:
C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\Macros\
Now goto Help\SolidWorks API and Add-Ins Help Topics. Next select the 'Contents' tab and expand 'Examples'. There you go.
There are more (maybe some the same?) macros available at:

RE: Stored macros
It is safer practice to create a seperate "custom" folder for any customization (ie. anything that is listed in the Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations section) and direct SW to that folder. Then when SW is upgraded all you have to do is redirect.
