Trouble recording a macro in 2009

Trouble recording a macro in 2009

Trouble recording a macro in 2009

(OP)
We just switched from Solidworks 2007 to 2009 at work.  I used to have a macro that would turn off dual dimensions as I don't use them but they are turned on in our drawing templates.

I imported my settings and everything worked except this macro.  I tried recording these actions again, but it's almost like the macro feature won't record menu clicks and choices.  I know the macros work because I can get them to do simple things like pan and zoom.

I am trying to record this:

Tools/Options/Document Properties and then uncheck "Dual dimensions display"

How can I accomplish this?  It doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks.
 

RE: Trouble recording a macro in 2009

You probably just need to activate the 2009 "type libraries" for the macro.

Open the macro for editing
Go to Tools > References
De-select the 2007 type libraries
Select equivalent 2009 type libraries
Exit edit macro

RE: Trouble recording a macro in 2009

Is that for the newly recorded macro or the old 2007 macro?

RE: Trouble recording a macro in 2009

Try copy and pate of codes from old macro to a new one (not recording but simply copy and paste)

Unfortunately the first time I tried recreating it in 2009, I saved over it so it's gone.
