VB form with Solidworks Macrro

VB form with Solidworks Macrro

(OP)
Hi,

I have created a form in a Solidworks macro.
Can I switch to Solidworks while a VB form is being displayed still?.
I want to re-orient the model and select the options in VB form to continue running it.

Regards,
Vinay

RE: VB form with Solidworks Macrro

Yes.  In the form properties, set the "Modal" property to "False".

Note that you may need extensive error trapping if you are writing a macro for others to use.  When you allow the user to interact with SW while your macro is running, you never know what they might do... close documents, add features, etc.
