API - Custom Printing Program

API - Custom Printing Program

API - Custom Printing Program

(OP)
I have a custom written program that I use to batch print drawing files and view custom properties.  It works well, but needs modified to work properly with configuration-specific properties.  The person who wrote it isn't able to modify it in the timeframe I need it done, so I'm looking for somebody else who can.

Does anybody know the names of some companies/individuals who do custom SolidWorks programming & might be able to take a look at it?  In my internet travels I have come across a few, but I didn't write them down and I now can't find them.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,

Brian

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

reminds me that perhaps I should update my tag line...

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

I could also highly recommend Brenda Bosley <http://www.customsolids.com> or Evan Basalik.  Lenny Kikstra, perhaps (his site is listed in the FAQ's somewhere)

... you're one of the sites that I lost--interested?  Should I email you directly or use the Customer Service email on your site?

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

Either works.

Yes, interested.

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

Can you tell me how to access configuration specific properties through the API? I have been trying to do this now to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

Everything you need to know is in SolidWorks API help. Just search for "custom properties".

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

I have found this
ChangeCustomPropertyNotify

but since I have no extensive previous knowledge of SW and there is no example, I am strugling to make it work

do u have any examples for this?

thanx

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

I may have overlooked something, but I didn't see anything that would help me. Plus all of their links seem to be broken

RE: API - Custom Printing Program

I have a problem when using Firefox to access the links, but have no problems when using IE.
