Macro to change Display Style of Drawing View

Macro to change Display Style of Drawing View

Macro to change Display Style of Drawing View

(OP)
Does anyone have a Macro which will change all drawing views to a particualr Display Style (e.g. HLR, Shaded)? We like to show our assembly drawings in shaded but it makes it very slow to work with them.

RE: Macro to change Display Style of Drawing View

Hi,

Try this macro

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swDraw As SldWorks.DrawingDoc
Dim swView As SldWorks.View

Sub main()

    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks    
    Set swDraw = swApp.ActiveDoc    

    Set swView = swDraw.GetFirstView    
    
    While Not swView Is Nothing
        
        swView.SetDisplayMode swDisplayMode_e.swSHADED
            
        Set swView = swView.GetNextView
        
    Wend
    
    swDraw.EditRebuild
    
End Sub

Please modify the swDisplayMode_e enumerator's value to display the view you would like.

Thanks,
Artem
