Need MACRO Help
(OP)
Hello all,
Would anyone like to accept the task of creating a macro that will allow me to be able to add dimensions to a design table? I would like to be able to right click on a dimension at the part level and have the option of adding it to a design table as well as providing the a new dimension name at the same time. I thought this could be done with a macro possibly but my knowledge of macros is VERY limited. Other suggestions welcome as well.
Thanks,
BB

RE: Need MACRO Help
I always have issues with that. 99% of the time I want to add the dimension but sometimes it adds the column as suppressed or unsuppressed. Then I have to and delete the column and try to add again. Also, when it comes to changing the dimension name and saving the table it always says the dimension column header name is illegal and it exits without saving any changes. I though if there could be a macro to automatically add the dimension with a user specified name it would be easier.

Will this macro work with SW2008 and up?
RE: Need MACRO Help
I am having trouble with this Macro. I have made a simple plate with about 10 thru holes. When I run the macro nothing happens. I am probably doing something wrong. Suggestions welcome.

Thanks, this will be very helpful.
STAR 4 YOU
RE: Need MACRO Help
Throughout the days, you have supplied quite a few very useful macros (and general assistance). You should post some macros onto 3DCC or somewhere that people can sort through. Do you have a website?
Another star for you.

RE: Need MACRO Help
I am trying to use your MACRO on my home system with SW2008 WinXP PRO 64 but I get the following error. It works fine on my work system with SW2009 Win VISTA 64. See included pic.
Let me know if you can help with this, thanks much.
